Rain, gusty wind headed for Bay Area

A series of storms this week will bring rain and gusty winds to the Bay Area region.

Light precipitation, or renegade showers, started early Monday morning further north in Eureka, giving Bay Area residents some time to get their wet weather gear ready.

Roaring winds up to 30 mph are in the forecast, with gusts up to 50 mph. Mt. Tamalpais and Mt Diabolo will get the strongest winds.

On Tuesday morning heavy downpours might impact the morning commute, especially for Concord, Oakland, and San Mateo. The first storm tapers off late Tuesday end, but the winds will linger around. 

Then the wet weather returns to the Bay on Wednesday with the storm systems expected to hover over the region into New Year's Eve.
