While the rain is back this weekend, the NWS expects this series of storms to be more moderate.
When the rain kicks in Friday morning, it’s likely to have an extended stay in the Bay Area. Dhuyvetter said Saturday is the main concern for the NWS as a new, stronger cold front moves in. But these storms coming in weren’t expected to be among the strongest the Bay Area has seen in 2023.
“These series of fronts are going to be more moderate with Saturday being the strongest,” Dhuyvetter said. “But with things just so saturated right now it really doesn’t take much for some of the flooding issues and that’s kind of the impacts we’re seeing.” Saturday forecasts show wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour and an inch of rainfall in downtown San Jose. In Oakland, rain totals could be as high as one inch with 24 mph winds and San Francisco could see three-quarters of an inch with 21 mph gusts.
Sunday could be even more moderate, with no more than one-quarter of an inch expected in urban centers. But the rain was predicted to linger, with NWS forecasts showing wet conditions lasting into Thursday.
