Windy, rain
Steve Paulson says today will see wind and rain, which will continue into Sunday.
OAKLAND, Calif. - Bay Area residents braced for the next round of storms as the latest atmospheric river began pounding the water-soaked region.
They shored up their homes with sandbags and watched PG&E crews to trim trees.
Tracey Owens was the first in line at the San Francisco Public Works facility on Thursday, hoping to get as many bags as possible.
"Once the water gets in, it's hard to get out," Owens said. "It's hard to remove the water. So hopefully I can prevent that from happening this time. Get me some sandbags. I want to jump on it before the rain starts."
Others in Santa Cruz County brought precious belongings to higher ground as they anticipated more flooding and shoppers in Livermore headed to the market to stockpile provisions.
The wet weather is supposed to last through Sunday.
