Cold, unstable air flowing in the wake of the latest atmospheric river Tuesday spawned lightning strikes, pounding hailstorms and intense downpours across the Bay Area.
The National Weather Service issued special weather statements warning of the intensity of the storm cells for San Francisco, Oakland, Concord, and the central San Francisco Bay."This is a dangerous and life-threatening situation," San Francisco officials said."Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.
" "Strong thunderstorms will impact portions of southeastern Marin, northern Alameda, Contra Costa, southeastern Sonoma, San Francisco and southeastern Napa Counties through 2 p.m.," weather service forecasters said."At 12:58 p.m. doppler radar was tracking strong thunderstorms along a line extending from near Napa to near San Leandro. Movement was east at 35 mph."
