Up to 6 inches of rain could fall in the Central Valley, and in the Sierra Nevada, totals could peak at 10 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The atmospheric river is being pumped up by a bomb cyclone, which happens when warm and cold air clash.

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",

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Please heed the warnings,” Siskiyou County Supervisor Ray Haupt said at the town hall. “I’ve lost six friends in recent years in Siskiyou County because they refused to go. These fires are nothing to mess around with. I can help you rebuild homes, but I can’t bring friends back to life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The risk of heat-related illness will be high, the weather service warned, noting that heat is the top weather-related killer in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An exceptionally dangerous situation is expected to unfold over the next week as we enter a potentially historic and deadly heat event.

That’s especially true with heat waves like this one, where the temperatures stay high day after day, they stay high even at night, and our bodies don’t get a respite,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get gradually more dehydrated, our cardiovascular systems are stressed, people’s kidneys are stressed. For people with underlying conditions, that’s a real problem and a health risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solomon noted that sometimes, older people can lose their thirst reflex, so remembering to drink water is very important. She also recommended that all people find cool places to spend time and avoid liquids that can be dehydrating, such as caffeinated drinks and alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heat conditions are also expected to last well into next week, according to Nicole Sarment, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office. Because the Climate Prediction Center is forecasting above-average temperatures at least through the next two weeks, people should take extra precautions to stay cool, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still in a potentially deadly heat event that is going to last for the better part of two weeks,” she told KQED. “People need to be in air conditioning; they need to wear light, loose clothing, not be outside if they don’t have to and stay hydrated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That’s especially true with heat waves like this one, where the temperatures stay high day after day, they stay high even at night, and our bodies don’t get a respite,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get gradually more dehydrated, our cardiovascular systems are stressed, people’s kidneys are stressed. For people with underlying conditions, that’s a real problem and a health risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solomon noted that sometimes, older people can lose their thirst reflex, so remembering to drink water is very important. She also recommended that all people find cool places to spend time and avoid liquids that can be dehydrating, such as caffeinated drinks and alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heat conditions are also expected to last well into next week, according to Nicole Sarment, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office. Because the Climate Prediction Center is forecasting above-average temperatures at least through the next two weeks, people should take extra precautions to stay cool, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still in a potentially deadly heat event that is going to last for the better part of two weeks,” she told KQED. “People need to be in air conditioning; they need to wear light, loose clothing, not be outside if they don’t have to and stay hydrated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
