Cindy Palmer, a meteorologist with the NWS, stated, 'You're right on the edge of where the plume is going to set up. If it sets up a little further south, you could absolutely get more.' This indicates the uncertainty of rainfall amounts, especially in localized areas.
Palmer reiterated the severity of the storms, explaining, 'The heaviest rainfall is anticipated across the North Bay, where 10-15' of rainfall are forecast. This will result in an increased flood threat. Be sure to avoid flood-prone areas!'
Bayside cities are currently under a gale warning for watercraft, lasting until 3 p.m. Wednesday, as winds of 15 to 25 knots, with gusts up to 35 knots, pose risks of capsizing vessels and reducing visibility.
Palmer noted the storm's impact on fire safety, stating, 'It will definitely damper the fire season, but we need to see how much we get after it.' This emphasizes the dual nature of winter storms, both beneficial and hazardous.
