The first (San Fran) Bay Area storm of the season is here. When will the rain arrive?
SF Gate ^ | November 26, 2019 | Douglas Zimmerman

The [San Francisco] Bay Area awoke to sunny skies on Tuesday morning — and hardly a hint that the first winter storm of the season is bearing down on the region. By the time the sun sets, widespread rainfall will overtake the region, and it will be the precursor for a week of wet weather.

Cold weather will also accompany the front with snow levels falling to around 3,000 feet by Wednesday morning. It is possible the highest peaks in the region, including Mt. Hamilton in San Jose and Mt. Diablo in the East Bay, may receive a dusting.

A wind warning will be in effect for all the Bay Area hills from Tuesday at 4 p.m. until Wednesday at 4 p.m. Twenty-to-25 mph winds are forecast, with gusts up to 60 mph on high peaks and ridges. A flash flood watch has also been issued for the Kincade Fire burn area in Sonoma County for Tuesday afternoon and evening; rainfall could fall at over a half-inch an hour there.

After the first wave of the storm moves through the Bay Area, an unstable body of cold air will cover the region through Thanksgiving with widespread showers possible and the snow levels lowering to 2,500 feet. A winter weather advisory is in effect for the Santa Lucia Mountains above 2,500 ft in Monterey County.

It’s that time of year when things change in a hurry. Sunday afternoon was 70 degrees and just gorgeous at Crissy Field. Then the temperature plummeted this morning here in South Bay and rain began around 1 pm. The wind is howling right now.

Perfect timing for Thanksgiving. This will dump some serious snow in the Sierras.

Heavy rain is the only time the Toilet by the bay doesn’t stink as bad.

I was just watching the Weather Channel and they said that parts of Kalifornia could get four *feet* of snow.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me that it snows in California in the winter? And it rains there too. Good lord it must be climate change because it did that every year of the 20+ years I “lived” there.....oh wait, did I just say that?

Dawn was lightly pink - “red sky at morning, a sailor’s warning.” Outside, now, it’s howling and pouring, a good real storm.

Goodbye to PG&E outages from high winds and low humidity.

Thank God for rain!

It started drizzling in Oakland since 2 pm, then it got windy shortly before dark, and twenty minutes ago it was coming down hard. It’s tapered off now, but still coming down steady.

There was a SERIOUS storm here in the Mission District about a half hour ago.

It only lasted about twenty minutes but it was intense.

Nope, say hello to PG&E outages due to high wind and the first rain of the season hitting dirty conductors.

Wow...it just amped up. Driving rain hitting the house now, wind howling. The wind is swirling all over the lace, battering the house from all sides. It’s like a fierce January storm.

Intense enough to wash all the schiff off the sidewalks?

Here’s an awesome weather app.
windy.com

You can track rain, wind, snow, waves, temp etc. You can scroll the wx map hour by hour and day by day for a week. It’s really cool! I got tired of the other apps which always had tons of ads.

We had a brief outage of power just before 6pm here in South SF, during an intense downpour and high winds. Really brief, for a couple seconds. Fortunately, I had cleaned my rain gutters on the roof and cut back tree branches during the weekend. Winds tonight tossed debris all around, knocked over my potted plants outside. Feels good, been without rain for more than 6 months. Yes, thank God for rain.
