Roughly 1,500 customers were without power in the South Bay, while another 1,500 on the Peninsula were still waiting for the lights to come on.
Yet another winter storm that had been expected to careen into the Bay Area overnight Saturday is now looking like it will tack farther south, meteorologists said, leading them to downgrade the amount of rain in the forecast. Most cities around in the region will get about an inch of rain by Wednesday.
“We are expecting most of the rain to impact areas to the south of the Bay Area in the central to southern parts of California,” said Dial Hoang, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Bay Area. Even so, Hoang warned that wind gusts up to 25 mph at lower elevations and 45 mph in the foothills and mountains could create havoc.
“Because soils are so saturated, it is a lot easier for the wind to knock down trees and power lines, so it’s really important people prepare in case they lose power,” he said. Meanwhile, the Central Coast — where severe winter weather has hammered levees triggering devastating flooding — could also dodge the worst of the storm. About an inch of rain was expected by Wednesday, and no large waterways were forecast to hit major flood stage.“It won’t take a lot of rain to cause issues in some of these areas,” he said.
