The last storm expected until at least Groundhog Day rolled into Northern California on Wednesday afternoon, bringing moderate rainfall to the Bay Area and heavy snowfall to the Sierra. Weather wonks welcomed the deluge, with some of the region's reservoirs falling far short of normal levels and the state's recent five-year drought still top of mind. Brian Mejia, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey, said the heaviest rains were likely to subside by Wednesday night, but showers likely would linger through Thursday and Friday morning. San Francisco was expected to receive a third to two-thirds of an inch of rain Wednesday, while the North Bay could get 1 to 2 inches, Mejia said. |
