"As SFGate reports, a storm system originating in the subtropics is due to arrive in the Bay Area early Monday, while a second storm is expected to hit early Wednesday. National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Nicole Sarment told SFGate that both storms are coming from the Gulf of Alaska and will be centered over the North Bay, which is expected to receive an inch of rain by the end of the week. San Francisco will likely get half an inch of rain."
"Per SFGate, there's only a 15% chance of lightning during the two incoming storms, unlike last Wednesday and Thursday when California skies were lit up by over 5,000 lightning events, as Bay Area News Group reports. There were 88 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes detected in the East Bay and South Bay between 7 pm Wednesday and 7 am Thursday, according to US Forest Service spokesperson Adrienne Freeman, as KRON4 reports."
Over 5,000 lightning strikes occurred across California Wednesday and Thursday, with 985 located in the Bay Area and Central Coast. Two storms are forecast to arrive in the Bay Area early Monday and Wednesday, originating in the Gulf of Alaska and centered over the North Bay. The North Bay is expected to receive about an inch of rain by week’s end; San Francisco about a half inch and the East Bay roughly a quarter inch. There is only a 15% chance of lightning with the incoming storms. Firefighters monitored 173 locations in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. Steady rain can bring oils to the surface and make roads slick; drivers should slow down and use lights.
