A weather phenomenon known as an “atmospheric river” dumped up to 5 inches of rain in the Sacramento region and up to a foot of snow in the mountains on Saturday, said Eric Kurth, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. In the San Francisco Bay area, a National Weather Service forecast warned Wednesday’s storm could cause widespread flooding and power outages, calling it “truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously.”
“We’re just kind of at nature’s mercy,” said Mark Hite, a member of the board for Reclamation District 800 that oversees the levee system. Rainfall in downtown San Francisco hit 5.46 inches on New Year’s Eve, making it the second-wettest day on record, behind a November 1994 deluge, the National Weather Service said.
