A powerful storm system is set to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Bay Area on Thursday, according to forecasters. The worst of the weather will occur between 3 am and 9 am, with rainfall rates potentially strong enough to cause isolated flooding in areas with poor drainage.
The storm's impact will be felt throughout the day, with a messy morning commute expected due to slower travel times and slick roads. Winds along the coast are forecasted to gust up to 50-60 mph, prompting a High Wind Warning from authorities. This could lead to trees being knocked down and power outages in some areas.
The storm's arrival coincides with an atmospheric river, which is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the region. The high-pressure system behind the low-pressure system will cause a significant drop in temperature overnight, making it feel chilly for those outside.
Residents are advised to be prepared for the worst of the weather, with some areas potentially seeing over 1 inch of rainfall by Thursday evening. If you're planning on traveling or going outdoors, make sure to check the latest forecast and road conditions before heading out.

Bay Area is gonna be a mess tomorrow morning, commute's gonna be a nightmare, roads are gonna be all flooded and slippery, and those strong winds are gonna make everything shake

Over an inch of rain by Thursday evening? That's like, crazy. Stay safe out there!

. Safety first 
, check that forecast & road conditions b4 heading out 
!
and poor commute... i hope those roads aren't too slippery! 
but seriously, high wind warning? that sounds intense! 
. i hope everyone stays safe and dry out there... but let's be real, we've seen some pretty rough weather before, so fingers crossed this one doesn't cause too much damage 
.
... but we've gotta learn to adapt, to ride out the storm like we would in a tough situation.
.
. And let's not forget about the poor drainage systems – it's like we're still stuck in the 90s 
️. And who knows, maybe this is the wake-up call our country needs – a good old-fashioned storm system to get us thinking about how we can improve our systems
