“Rain’s going to be the story for at least the beginning part of the work week,” a National Weather Service meteorologist said.
The inland portions of the East Bay, including much of Contra Costa County, generally received .25 to .41 inches of rain. A rain shadow effect from the bordering mountains limited precipitation in the Santa Clara Valley, leaving only .04 inches of rain in San Jose. But more fell over the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains, with rain gauges showing accumulations of .35 to .69 inches.
Another quarter-inch of rain is expected to fall over the coastal parts of the Bay Area on Sunday, while the Santa Clara Valley could see another tenth of an inch of rain, Hoang said. Meanwhile, the East Bay Hills and the Santa Cruz Mountains could receive another half-inch to an inch of rain Sunday.
Sunny skies should grace the Bay Area on Monday ahead of the next weather system forecast to hit the region, which should arrive that night and continue through Wednesday. A half-inch of rain is expected to fall along the coastal parts of the Bay Area, while 1 to 2 inches of rain could fall over the higher elevations.
Those same storm systems are likely to further bury the Sierra Nevada in even more powder — adding to, even as it’s provided a banner season for ski resorts bordering Lake Tahoe. Heavy snow over the Sierra above 5,500 feet through Monday morning with 1 to 2 feet possible. Significant travel delays likely, aviod travel if possible.
