Today’s storm is a great example of a storm track where the South Bay gets higher rainfall totals than a lot of the rest of the Bay Area. These winds helped to funnel moisture from the Pacific toward Highway 17 and Big Basin Redwoods State Park. That was partly thanks to the added southwest winds that raised storms on the coastal mountains. Out of the last week this part of the Bay Area has fared the best with rainfall rates, seeing some of the highest totals in the region. San Jose and the Santa Cruz Mountains received some of the highest rainfall totals yesterday, with weather observation sites measuring well over an inch. Gerry Díaz / Pivotal Weather Will the South Bay get another hosing of rain today? The forecast rainfall totals for today, with only another half inch possible in San Francisco and another eight tenths of an inch in San Jose before this storm system clears out. This is because the center of this storm will hover over the city from 5 to 8 a.m., and that will help to keep skies cloudy and the air a bit soupy until the afternoon. The air mass will slowly dry out, meaning it’ll feel less humid as the day goes on-especially around San Francisco. They will eventually fizzle out and make way for clear skies across the region by the afternoon. This system is making a bit of a mess on its way out of California, leaving behind trails of showers in the Santa Cruz Mountains and some of the East Bay hills this morning. This approach will help raise another round of rain showers in Sacramento and neighboring cities like Modesto and Chico while ramping down rain showers and thunder in the Bay Area. The storm system responsible for all this active weather is forecast to quickly travel east into the Sacramento Valley later Wednesday morning. The North American weather model is picking up on residual - leftover - moisture in patches of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Big Sur coast tomorrow morning, along with snow showers in the Sierra and widespread showers in Orange and San Bernardino counties. Once it leaves this afternoon, a high-pressure system will firmly close the California storm door. This system is now on its way out the door today, but not before dropping another round of isolated thunderstorms and snow showers. It also brought plenty of winter weather to the Sierra Nevada and the San Bernardino Mountains, where several feet of snow have fallen over several ski resorts -including Kirkwood. This is all thanks to a storm system that’s charged up inclement weather from San Francisco to San Diego. Isolated thunderstorms also took to the skies, coming ashore and bringing with them lightning and flooding. Strong winds and heavy downpours made an active weather day across California yesterday. Once it trails east of the Sierra this evening, the Bay Area and most of California will quickly dry out. The storm will march inland and center itself over the Sacramento Valley by noon today, raising the chances for isolated thunderstorms in the Bay Area and LA metro and snow showers in the Sierra Nevada.
