After a brief break from the overnight rain Sunday morning, people across the Bay Area can expect stormy conditions, a wind advisory and a Flood Watch.
That stormy weather will start in the North Bay this evening before becoming more widespread to the rest of the Bay Area by 8 to 9 p.m. There is a chance of hearing some thunder into Monday morning. On top of the rain that's already fallen, another 2 to 3 inches is expected in the North Bay, 1 to 2 inches in the coastal mountains, and .75 to 1 inch for the rest of the region.
There is also a Wind Advisory starting tonight and continuing to Monday morning. Winds out of the south will be around 15 to 25 mph, with gusts exceeding 45 mph on higher ridges. Make sure to secure loose objects and drive safely. It's possible tree limbs will come down as the soil is getting pretty saturated. Power issues may also arise.
The National Weather Service has also issued a Flood Watch, meaning hazardous weather is possible, for the North Bay from 8 p.m. Sunday through 10 p.m. Monday. Rivers, creeks, and streams could rise quickly, especially if a thunderstorm cell lingers over the area.
We are watching the Russian River at Hopland, expected to hover right at Minor Flood Stage come Monday morning. Additionally, shallow landslides may be possible. Drive carefully around rocks and debris in the roadways, and avoid driving through a muddy area.
We also have a Coastal Flood Advisory for higher than normal tides. High tide will peak at 8:23am Monday at 6.37ft. Localized flooding could be enhanced with all of this.
