The Bay Area woke up Wednesday to patchy fog - with denser fog in California's Central Valley - as one winter storm left the state and another lined up to enter.
Light rain was expected to begin again in the North Bay starting Wednesday night, spreading across the Bay Area and continuing through the end of the year. The Bay Area will see the heaviest rain from early to late Saturday morning. Then the heavier rain will move to Santa Cruz southward to the Big Sur coast late Saturday morning through afternoon.
The weather service said these upcoming wet periods will increase the potential for localized flooding, small rock slides along roads, downed branches and trees, and will bring a return of hazardous road conditions. State Department of Water Resources data show that drought-stricken California's mountain snowpack, a third of the state's water supply, is off to a good start. But experts remain cautious. Last winter had a similar start and then turned extraordinarily dry from January through March.© 2022 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.
