Scattered showers were already falling over the Bay Area early Friday morning as the Bay Area braced for another round of heavy rain that will trigger a flood watch later in the day.
Researchers at Scripps Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes predicted the approaching atmospheric river will more intense than the one that made landfall on Tuesday. The good news is that current models indicate the heaviest rain will fall between Friday night and late Saturday morning, meaning that the storm shouldn't impact New Year's Eve festivities Saturday night.The first storm dumped nearly five inches of rain on Mt. Tamalpais and also in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Unlike Tuesday's storm, this river will not be accompanied by high winds. Still, forecasters warned, there will be gusts that can topple trees weakened by the saturated soil. While there will be a break in the rain on New Year's Day, there is more stormy weather to come next week. "My house is near a creek that rises above my house level. And they try to enforce it every year, but we usually get flooding," said King."So, this year I'm a little more concerned."
