Bay Area Braces for More Severe Weather After Stormy Christmas Day
OAKLAND, Calif. – The Bay Area is facing continued severe weather conditions Thursday after a Christmas Day marked by scattered thunderstorms and high winds. A winter storm warning remains in effect until 3 a.m. Friday, with forecasters predicting more damaging winds, severe thunderstorms, and potential flash flooding throughout the day and into the evening.
Meteorologist Mark Tamayo warned of another disturbance moving in late afternoon, increasing the risk of erratic winds and even isolated tornadoes. Power outages are already widespread, with at least 24,000 PG&E customers across the Bay Area affected, including significant outages in Santa Rosa and the North Bay. Downed power lines and trees are contributing to the problem.
The storm has already caused significant disruptions. Tornado warnings were issued earlier for parts of San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. Numerous road closures are in effect due to flooding, including Highway 12 in Sonoma, and an overturned tanker has shut down southbound Highway 101 in San Jose. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) experienced ground delays due to high winds and an earlier power surge. Mudslides and downed trees have also been reported in Piedmont.
High surf and hazardous marine conditions are expected to persist along the coast through Friday. A flood watch is in effect across the region until Friday evening, raising concerns about landslides. The Sierra Nevada is under a winter storm warning until Friday morning with strong discouragement to travel to the Tahoe area until at least Saturday.
Authorities are urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel and treat any traffic lights that are out as four-way stops. Once the storm clears, colder temperatures are expected over the weekend.
