AccuWeather Forecast: First wave of rain arrives in North Bay overnight
Takeaway of the Day
Today was the last day of calm, dry weather that we will see for a while. We had mainly sunny skies through the morning and midday hours, but clouds increased quickly this afternoon, and high temperatures reached only into the upper 50s to around 60 degrees. Enjoy this brief period of calm weather now, as we can expect stormy days ahead.
TIMELINE: Atmospheric river hits Bay Area tomorrow with heavy rain, flood risks, high winds
The Look Ahead
The first wave of rain will arrive in the North Bay overnight, and rain will spread to other regions of the Bay Area by midday. Tomorrow's storm ranks Level 2 on the exclusive ABC7 Storm Impact Scale. It's a storm of moderate intensity, and will produce heavy and potentially flooding rain in the North Bay, where a Flood Watch will be in effect until Saturday morning.
Tomorrow's storm will also produce strong, gusty winds -- and a Wind Advisory will be in effect until 6 a.m. Thursday for the entire North Bay plus the bay shoreline and the coast. Gusts may reach or exceed 45 miles per hour.
And while wind and rain pound the Bay Area, a Winter Storm Warning will be in effect in the Sierra until 10 p.m. tomorrow. Heavy snow and strong wind gusts will make travel extremely difficult.
