Winds were kicking up outside Goodman Building Supply in Mill Valley Sunday afternoon, where Lenette Lew was on a mission to keep her outdoor furniture dry.
"All the plastic sheeting, all the tarps, shop vacs will go because it will be an oops moment -- 'I've got a leak, got to get the water off the floor,'" Bartholomew said.
The National Weather Service tweeted, widespread rain and the chance of thunderstorms are not the only things in the forecast for this upcoming week. A high surf advisory will be in effect. "A new storm coming though, we're looking at rain Sunday night, Monday into Tuesday," said Bret McTigue, Mill Valley Fire Department battalion chief."Any additional rain we get is going to help bring an end to fire season and for us in Northern California," he said.
The fire department honored its volunteer lookouts Sunday -- people who watch for fire from remote stations on Mt. Tamalpias and other areas. Many are happy this year did not see a major wildfire in the Bay Area.
