Wind, rain and even a possible thunderstorm are predicted to hit the region late Sunday into early Monday, bringing at least 0.5 inches of rain to all parts of the Bay Area.
According to the National Weather Service, the East Bay Hills and Central Coast will see 20 to 35 mile per hour winds with gusts of up to 45 miles per hour Sunday afternoon. "Secure loose outdoor objects. Prepare for possible power outages. Stay clear of trees and downed power lines," weather experts advised.
Weather experts are optimistic that all regions of the Bay Area should see beneficial rains by Monday afternoon, with up to two to three inches in the coastal hills. "A run of the mill storm but after a very dry start to 2022 we'll take what Mother Nature gives…," NWS wrote in a Twitter post.
A Flash Flood Watch has also been issued for the Colorado and Dolan burn scars starting Sunday at 7 p.m. until Monday at 6 a.m., as there is a potential for four inches of rain along the Big Sur coast.
Despite the downpour, NWS forecaster Matt Mehley told KCBS Radio the rain is unlikely to relieve California drought conditions.
Bay Area Commuter are advised to prepare for slick roadways during their drive to work Monday morning.
