SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Francisco Bay Area was doused with yet another overnight storm late Sunday into Monday. But it appears that the downed trees and power outages could have been a parting gift from the historic downpours, as mostly bright skies crowd forecasts for the foreseeable future.
The National Weather Service’s 12-hour precipitation totals from 8 p.m. Sunday to 8 a.m. Monday morning showed healthy amounts of rainfall throughout the region, with most parts of the Bay Area exceeding an inch of rain. Totals include 1.18 inches in San Jose, 1.17 in San Francisco, 1.24 in Walnut Creek and 1.38 in Oakland.
With saturated soils making it easier for trees to fall and clogged drains making way for flooding, there was no shortage of damage from the storms.
