Bay Area residents woke to the heaviest precipitation the region has experienced in recent memory Thursday morning as the leading edge of a potent spring storm dumped another round of rain expected to continue into Friday.
The early morning storm cell provided some impressive rain totals Thursday morning, with Ben Lomond receiving almost an inch and a half of rain in the past 24 hours. Mount Diablo received just over an inch, while Danville got .84 inches. Redwood City received .59 inches and San Francisco got just over a third of an inch.
The rain started in some parts of the Bay Area Wednesday afternoon, but a good portion of the region had only received trace precipitation as of late Wednesday night. However, some of the higher elevations on the peninsula and the East Bay interior received more than a half-inch.
