The San Francisco Bay Area's reprieve from the stormy conditions that were ravaging the Midwest and Northeast on Friday will come to an end after a balmy holiday weekend.
A storm system carrying with it a significant atmospheric river was forming in the frigid waters of the Gulf of Alaska and will bring heavy rain into the region beginning late Monday night.
"Signals for a potent atmospheric river event early next week continue to show promise as a strong upper jet sets up across the entire Pacific Basin," National Weather Service forecasters in Reno warned."As this jet draws subtropical moisture northward, a moderate to strong atmospheric river will be possible mainly in the late Monday into Tuesday timeframe."
"We are expecting moderate to heavy rainfall beginning late on the Monday starting in the North Bay, then spreading southward into Tuesday morning, persisting through the day Tuesday," forecasters said."Forecasted storm total rainfall amounts are trending wetter, with the North Bay and coastal ranges still on track to see the most rain with 2-3 inches and 3-5 inches respectively.
"This rain storm raises hydrologic concerns such as roadway flooding and minor mud/rock slides, so if planning to travel be sure to stay up to date with the forecast and use caution on the roads," the weather service said.
