"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 12:25 p.m. Tuesday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a dry fall, the Bay Area is bracing for heavy rain this week, raising the risk of flooding in parts of the North Bay and pushing much of Northern California ahead of its seasonal average rainfall for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The season’s first \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1935067/rivers-in-the-sky-what-you-need-to-know-about-atmospheric-river-storms\">atmospheric river\u003c/a> will arrive Tuesday night, bringing five days of fairly continuous rain to the Bay Area, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Nicole Sarment. The North Bay will be hit hardest and first, with Napa and Sonoma expected to get 4–6 inches of rain inland and 7 inches on the coast between Wednesday and Thursday night. Up to 10 inches could fall in areas north of Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco could also be hit with up to an inch and a half of rainfall during the first wave of the storm, which is made up of two low-pressure systems, according to Sarment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that after the first sweeps through midweek, the second is expected to begin Friday and extend through the weekend, reaching farther south and inland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Significant rainfall is again likely in the North Bay and San Francisco this weekend. Both regions are forecast to get about the same amount of rain as earlier in the week, if not slightly less. As the storm pushes south, it’s expected to lose steam, with total rainfall predictions under an inch in the South Bay, except for the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite early forecasts that flooding risk was low, a flood watch has been put in place in Napa, Sonoma and Marin counties for Wednesday through Friday morning. Dial Hoang, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said that risk will increase in the latter days of the storm since soil that has been dried during the summer season will become wetter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we go through Wednesday and Thursday, the soils will begin to saturate and small creeks and streams will begin to fill up,” Hoang said. “So we really see the flooding concerns increase through Friday and the weekend, even after the intensity of the rain begins to drop off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm could set Northern California ahead of its seasonal rainfall average for mid-November — which had appeared unlikely after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/weather\">drier-than-usual fall\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would definitely put us above normal,” Sarment said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco usually sees about 2.4 inches of rain by this point in the year but has only gotten about 0.6 inches since the water year began on Oct. 1. After the storm, the city is predicted to be at about 3.6 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12014470 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/WhoopingCoughGetty-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North Bay could also shoot past its seasonal averages, which are about 3.5 inches in Sonoma and 1.7 inches in Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our winter and our rainy season is definitely early here in Sonoma County,” said Jeff DuVall, the county’s director of emergency management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While urban and small spring flooding could occur, officials do not expect major rivers like the Russian River to approach the monitor stage, at which preparations for potential flooding would be recommended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco tends to see higher risk when rain falls at a rate above an inch at a time, making it unlikely this week will see flooding there, barring blocked drains or an unexpected road obstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not trying to undercut what we’re expecting, but [that’s] the good news,” Sarment told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, people should prepare for rainy, windy conditions as much as they can. Sarment advised people to clean out gutters, identify any trees that might have loose branches or roots on their property, and secure outdoor furniture that could be blown away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the storm starts, it’s important to look out for downed power lines that could be active and avoid driving into flooded areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, it would just be a good weekend to stay home and just stay out of the way,” she said. “I’m sure there’ll be trees down, power lines down, and all that kind of stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/eromero\">Ezra David Romero\u003c/a> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The North Bay will be hit hardest and first, with Napa and Sonoma expected to get 4–6 inches of rain inland and 7 inches on the coast between Wednesday and Thursday night. Up to 10 inches could fall in areas north of Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco could also be hit with up to an inch and a half of rainfall during the first wave of the storm, which is made up of two low-pressure systems, according to Sarment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that after the first sweeps through midweek, the second is expected to begin Friday and extend through the weekend, reaching farther south and inland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both regions are forecast to get about the same amount of rain as earlier in the week, if not slightly less. As the storm pushes south, it’s expected to lose steam, with total rainfall predictions under an inch in the South Bay, except for the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite early forecasts that flooding risk was low, a flood watch has been put in place in Napa, Sonoma and Marin counties for Wednesday through Friday morning. Dial Hoang, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said that risk will increase in the latter days of the storm since soil that has been dried during the summer season will become wetter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we go through Wednesday and Thursday, the soils will begin to saturate and small creeks and streams will begin to fill up,” Hoang said. “So we really see the flooding concerns increase through Friday and the weekend, even after the intensity of the rain begins to drop off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm could set Northern California ahead of its seasonal rainfall average for mid-November — which had appeared unlikely after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/weather\">drier-than-usual fall\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would definitely put us above normal,” Sarment said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco usually sees about 2.4 inches of rain by this point in the year but has only gotten about 0.6 inches since the water year began on Oct. 1.

He also added that individuals who suspect they may be sick should stay home and that public messaging needs to reflect the seriousness of this respiratory disease so that employers and teachers are more lenient when it comes to excusing absences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Patel emphasized that the most effective way to stop the spread of whooping cough is to get vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before we had an effective whooping cough vaccine, in the 1940s, there were an estimated over 200,000 cases of whooping cough per year that we knew about,” Patel said. “If you fast forward a few decades, that number dropped by 99% in the mid-’70s.

It’s called the DTaP vaccine for babies and children under 7 and the Tdap vaccine for older children and adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For babies and young children (DTaP vaccine)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multiple shots are recommended for maximum immunity.

It was similar to the one she had planned in Oakland following Trump’s first election in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the most healing space I could find,” Flashman said of the 2016 vigil. “It ended up being really large, and it became my memory of that night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flashman said she didn’t want her only memory of Trump’s second presidential victory to be of election returns favoring him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t want last night to be my memory of his win,” she said. “I wanted a new memory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The demonstrations were far more muted than in 2016, when thousands rallied in cities across the Bay Area, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/11/10/oakland-30-arrested-in-anti-trump-protests/\">at least 30 were arrested\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attendees at Harvey Milk Plaza on Wednesday lit candles, played music and took turns using a microphone to voice their feelings about the prospects of another Trump presidency.
