California storms: Another round of ‘dangerous’ wind, rain expected to hit Bay Area

Another windy deluge is expected to slam into the Bay Area early this week, potentially sending some streams over their banks while also raising the specter of widespread power outages from wind-battered trees falling onto power lines.

The latest atmospheric river-fed storm is expected to begin impacting the Bay Area late Sunday night — first dropping rain over the North Bay before moving south overnight toward the Peninsula, the East Bay and the South Bay early Monday morning, said Brayden Murdock, a National Weather Service meteorologist. He warned residents to prepare for the storm by signing up for emergency alerts, given the high likelihood of flooding and high winds in parts of the Bay Area.

The National Weather Service issued a flood watch through Tuesday for almost the entire Bay Area. Among the rivers most at risk of flooding are Alameda Creek near Niles Canyon and Sunol; Arroyo de la Laguna at Verona in Alameda County; Coyote Creek at Milpitas and at Edenvale; Pacheco Creek near Dunneville in the South Bay; and the San Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz County. To the north, the Russian River could flood near Guerneville.

The creeks most at risk of flooding in Santa Clara County include Uvas Creek along Highway 101 in Gilroy; San Francisquito Creek in Palo Alto; Ross Creek at Cherry Avenue in San Jose; Upper Penitencia Creek at Mabury and King roads in San Jose; Guadalupe River at West Alma Avenue in San Jose; Sunnyvale East Channel at Tasman Drive in Sunnyvale; and West Little Llagas Creek in Morgan Hill.

Updated forecast rainfall totals for round 2, expected to begin tonight between 10 pm and midnight. The heaviest rain will occur between 4 am and 4 pm Monday. Slight lowering of totals from the Bay Area northward and southern valleys. More details in follow up tweet.
