Strong bands of rain showers are falling on the Bay Area this morning. Wind gusts will increase this afternoon — reaching over 20 miles an hour in coastal areas and some valleys.
The National Weather Service said Monday will be day the region is hit hardest by the stormy weather expected to last through Thursday.
Two low pressure systems are forecast to bring between one and five inches of rain to most of the region through Thursday.
“First part of Monday is probably gonna have some more moderate to maybe in some areas locally heavy rainfall,” Brayden Murdock, a meteologist with the weather service’s Bay Area office, told KQED.
The weather service has issued a flood advisory for parts of the North and East Bay, where urban and small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.
The storm has caused some minor highway and roadway flooding so far.
Over the week, the North Bay and Big Sur Coast are expected to get the most rain. San Francisco is set to get around two or three inches, and the East and South Bay are expected to get less.
