A potent storm system is expected to bring even more moisture to Northern California on Sunday after drenching the Bay Area in rain and dumping several feet of snow atop the Sierra Nevada.
“It won’t be raining all day, but these showers are going to continue off and off throughout the day,” said Roger Gass, a National Weather Service meteorologist. “And all in all, they’re providing pretty beneficial rainfall.” Low-lying portions of the Bay Area — including Oakland, San Francisco, Palo Alto and Hayward — received between 1-2 inches of rain from Friday night through about 9 a.m. Sunday, according to rain gauges maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. San Jose has recorded .56 inches of rain so far over the weekend, while surrounding communities received well more than an inch. And the Oakland Hills received 2.15 to 2.
The highest rainfall totals could be found in the Santa Cruz Mountains, which generally saw between four and five inches of rain. One station at Uvas Canyon County Park recorded 7.05 inches of rain.prompted California transportation officials to close a stretch of Highway 1 due to concerns about mudslides
