SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A parade of storms will drench the San Francisco Bay Area leading up to Christmas Eve, forecasters said. A triple punch of three storms will drop rain across the region between this weekend and Christmas Eve.
KRON4 Meteorologist Kyla Grogan said the first storm will blow in early Saturday morning, the second on Sunday afternoon, and the third on Monday. Rain showers will continue into Tuesday.
That National Weather Service wrote, “The first two systems over the weekend look to be largely unimpactful in terms of flooding; however, these weekend rains will provide the antecedent conditions for the more impactful systems next week. As soils approach saturation it is more likely that trees will fall, mud and rock will slide, and creeks and streams will rise. Winds will also increase with the passage of each system with gusts up to 45 mph likely in the higher terrain.”
“It’s that water on top of water that concerns me a bit. Some of those creeks and streams are going to be really high,” Grogan said.
Christmas Day will usher sunshine and dry skies back into the Bay Area.
A high surf advisory will go into effect at sunrise Saturday. A long-period westerly swell will bring more big waves on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the NWS said.
