As one storm arrives Saturday, a more powerful atmospheric river is expected to slam the region early next week.
Elsewhere, the utility was dealing with reports of minor power outages across the Bay Area, mostly affecting fewer than 50 customers.
Across the greater Bay Area on Saturday, residents and officials prepared for the punishing weather ahead. Saturday’s storm was expected to bring half an inch to 2 inches of rain for most of the Bay Area and up to 4 inches in the mountains. The North Bay was expected to be the wettest, with between 4 to 6 inches of rain. Meanwhile, wind gusts throughout the region were forecast to reach up to 60 mph, and even higher at mountain peaks.
Even San Jose could see about 2 inches of rain in the coming days, unusual for an area that’s generally in the rain shadow of the Santa Cruz Mountains, while Big Sur could get upwards of 11 inches of rain at its highest peaks.
