Storm system dumps latest round of rain on Bay Area; Scattered showers continue
SAN FRANCISCO -- A cold front moved inland Saturday night into Sunday morning that brought periods of heavy rain to the Bay Area, with more scattered showers expected through the day.
The cold front also brought wind gusts of 25-35 mph with localized gusts ranging from 35-50 mph.
Nearly 4,500 PG&E customers were without power late Saturday evening due to high winds resulting from the rainstorm passing through the Bay Area.
Most of the outages are in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
The storm system brought some intense downpours that moved into San Francisco at around midnight and continued periodically through dawn.
While the region can expect plenty of breaks with blue sky on Sunday, showers will develop and move through with some isolated thunderstorms bringing brief downpours.
Scattered showers will continue today with mainly light additional rain amounts. Here's a look at the probability for seeing 0.25" or greater. Best chances are in the hills and from the South Bay towards the Central Coast. #cawx pic.twitter.com/iyE4JqAVae
