Except for the Sonoma and Marin hills and the Santa Cruz Mountains, which could get an inch or more through Monday, most areas around the region will see a half-inch of rain or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bigger storm is on tap for Tuesday and Wednesday, with an inch or two of rain in the immediate Bay Area and 2 inches or more in the region's highlands. And finally, another possibly potent storm will roll in Thursday and Friday. By the end of the workweek, many lowland locations around the bay will have picked up more than 2 inches of rain, while the wettest hill locales will have registered 6 inches or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some forecasters say longer-range weather models suggest this week is just the start of a prolonged wet pattern for the Bay Area and most of California. \u003ca href=\"http://www.weatherwest.com/archives/3754\" target=\"_blank\">Commenting\u003c/a> on what appears to be a major, El Niño-driven shift in the jet stream, Daniel Swain of The California Weather Blog says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... The screaming message, at this point, is that quite a few storms will affect California over the next 2-3 weeks. Not all of them will be strong, but some of them probably will be. Some may preferentially affect the northern part of the state; others will focus on the far southern region. But it seems very likely at this point that virtually all of California will experience significant, perhaps heavy, precipitation. Some of these systems may also bring strong winds and even some vigorous convective activity (thunderstorms), but these details are even harder to ascertain more than a few days in advance.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The week's third storm arrives with pounding rains overnight.
