UPDATE: All lanes on I-580 in Oakland have reopened after flooding shut down the freeway early Friday morning, Caltrans says.
All eyes are looking towards the sky Thursday morning, to see when the next atmospheric river will roll in.
Lessons learned from the last major storm at the start of year, folks across San Jose weren't taking any chances this time around, picking up sandbags at five different locations across Santa Clara County. And knowing history could repeat itself from January, their crews are also bracing for the possibility of even more downed trees.
Jacks Peak, Manzanita Park, Royal Oaks Park, San Lorenzo Park and Toro Park will be closed to protect the health and safety of visitors from the heavy rain and strong winds forecasted in the forthcoming storm, according to the county. "Right now, we're still overwhelmed with snow. The official snow tally as of yesterday, since February 22, is 53 inches of snow on Mt. Hamilton," resident astronomer Dr. Elinor Gates said.
Still, resident astronomer Dr. Paul Lynam says there is some welcome news, including warmer temperatures and better timing.
