It depends on where you are. Heres the totals from the north to south. Santa rosa, out at the airport, the Sonoma County airport, only over an inch of rain. Now look at the south of the bay area. San jose has only gotten. 6 inches. Well come back to that because the rain is coming even though you dont have much yet. I want to go back to the north bay for a second because to go along with this first significant rain maker of the season, we still have a burn scar from the kinkade fire, and this is the leading concern into the storm. We have an inch and a half in the mountains from the high peak up above that. All that water has to go somewhere. The flood watch thats in place up in the north bay, really just focuses exclusively down slope of the burn scar of the kinkade. We have to get through the next 12 hours on that.

Weve had one of the drier autumns weve had in quite some time. Look at the rainfall totals by the time we get to the end of sunday. Near 6 inches in the santa cruz mountains. And only about. 85 inches for san jose. The rain is coming. Theres more coming by the time we get into tomorrow. And in the north bay, those are good totals there too. The bulk of the rain comes through tomorrow morning. Watch the big picture. I showed the close up view at the top of the newscast, but you get a much better idea of the storm when we pull back for a little perspective. The fire hose is pointed south of the bay area. Granted theres rain tomorrow, and well be getting rain throughout the day, but the bulk of the rain, that narrow ribbon where the heaviest most sustained rain is . Thats going down to monterey and big sur. So well get our share, but were dodging the really impressive aspect of this. It doesnt make much for that to shift a little. If it had just come a little farther north, this would be a different story for the bay area as a whole. We keep the chance of rain through tuesday. They also bring in wind with them.
