A frontal band with insanely heavy rain and powerful winds ripped through the San Francisco Bay Area early Tuesday.
A frontal band associated with an atmospheric river ripped through the San Francisco Bay Area early Tuesday at about 2 a.m. with insanely heavy rain and powerful winds. This was the front end of the system's second wave that is forecast to bring scattered showers and the chance of thunderstorms through Tuesday.
"We had people from San Francisco to Santa Cruz reporting that they saw lightning or heard thunder," said National Weather Service meteorologist Brooke Bingaman."There were a couple reports of small hail. A lot people said they experienced really intense rains and winds. One person said it felt like their house was in a car wash as that frontal band passed through."
Bingaman told SFGATE at 2:45 a.m. that once the back end of the frontal band has fully passed, conditions will calm down a bit, but showers are expected to redevelop later this morning and continue into the afternoon. The chance for thunderstorms will also persist through the day. "The really important thing is to hunker down at home and be safe," she said."That band that went through dropped a lot of rain. We already saw CHP report that Highway 17 had some power lines down and it’s sparking. It’s best to stay home at this point even if the weather calms down."
