Strong Back-To-Back Storms Expected To Hit Bay Area This Week
A powerful pair of back-to-back storms will move through the Bay Area from Tuesday through the weekend, the National Weather Service says.
BAY AREA, CA -- A pair of back-to-back storms will move through the Bay Area this week, with the first coming through on Tuesday through Thursday and the second on Friday through the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
"What's unusual is the model for these storms, and the timing and the strength of these storms," weather service meteorologist Carolina Walbrun said.
The storms are expected to be more like winter-season systems as opposed to springtime rain. Most of the rain for the first storm should fall in the Bay Area on Wednesday into Thursday, the NWS said, being evenly spread and most areas seeing a half-inch to an inch of rain.
