SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Bay Area was doused with yet another hefty 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.
National Weather Service 12-hour precipitation totals from 8 p.m. Sunday to 8 a.m. Monday showed healthy amounts of rainfall throughout the region, with most parts of the Bay Area exceeding one 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 overnight damage from the storms.
