Wet Now. Warmer Weekend!
So far this early season system is playing out as advertised - more of a wind storm than precipatation. Winds materialized over the coastal waters and the North Bay coast, especially the Marin Headlands. Since midnight: 82 mph winds in the hills above Woodacre, 66 mph Mt. Diablo and many other sites around the region gusting 40-60 mph. High Wind Warning and Wind Advisory in effect until 4 PM. The North Bay coast will likely be converted to a Wind Advisory later. As for rain, spotty showers remain. The heaviest rain occurred over the North Bay. Highest precip totals were in the Marin Headlands with 2.25" 0.5-1.5", less with nothing to a tenth or two elsewhere. We`re not done yet. Though easing, winds will be impactful this afternoon. Additionally, we haven`t had any thunderstorms yet, but the cold front continues to move through leading to more instability. If we experience Tstorms, mostly likely north of the North Bay. Tidal Flood Advisory in effect until Saturday. BEAVER Moon Tonight!
