With a storm on the way that could lead to ‘likely loss of human life,’ the National Weather Service is advising Bay Area residents to prepare on a mild Tuesday.
Officials warned Bay Area residents to use Tuesday as a preparation day for a brutal storm that will bring strong rain and wind to the region on Wednesday, carrying serious danger for residents in flood-prone areas.
“To put it simply, this will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while,” a National Weather Service report said Monday evening. “The impacts will include widespread flooding, roads washing out, hillsides collapsing, trees down, widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life.
For Wednesday, forecasts showed about San Jose could receive as much as two inches of rain, a mark that might be matched in Oakland. Wind gusts were projected to reach well over 40 mph in both cities. San Francisco forecasts were nearly identical, with precipitation expected to reach between one and two inches on Wednesday.
NWS meteorologists said Tuesday morning that while the upcoming storm could perhaps yield a little less rain than the vicious winds could create havoc throughout the region. Gusts were projected to reach yp to 60 mph Wednesday, leading to a high wind watch set to last from late Tuesday through Thursday morning
