Rainy Saturday expected to soak Bay Area

More rain is headed to the Bay Area overnight Friday night and into Saturday, with the greatest concentrations expected along the coastal mountains and in the North Bay, according to the National Weather Service.

Forecasters anticipate from 1 inch to 3 inches of rain in the most impacted regions and up to one inch for most urban areas.

Drivers should expect wet roads, reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions, according to Weather Service officials.

Clogged storm drains and fouled rain gutters could cause localized flooding in many cities.

The rain will spread over the North Bay late Friday evening, increasing in intensity and moving over the entire region overnight.

The heaviest rain is then expected to move south across the Central Coast region through Saturday morning and afternoon.

Skies will clear in the North Bay starting Saturday afternoon, followed by the rest of the Bay Area later in the afternoon and evening, according to the Weather Service.
