The upcoming Bay Area storm could see snow at lower elevations than usual, and high winds expected to cause thousands of power outages throughout the region.
As temperatures dip and moisture approaches, it’s possible that snow could fall as low as 1,500 feet as the system passes through. The heaviest rain and precipitation activity is expected to be Thursday evening into Friday. Murdock said at least three-quarters of an inch of rain is expected to fall and perhaps as much as 1.4 inches.
He also said the chances of snow below 1,000 feet are low because the coldest conditions will occur when there is not much moisture going through the area. “We’re gonna have winds. Rain. Snow,” he said. “There’s just gonna be a whole lot of hazardous stuff going on.” That “hazardous stuff” is what Pacific Gas and Electric Company was most concerned about as the storm approached, a company representative told reporters at a news conference Tuesday.
SAFETY: If you see a downed tree/branches – it could be hiding a power line. Assume all wires are energized & extremely dangerous. Don't touch or try to move it—keep children & animals away. Report downed lines to 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5002.
