Related: About this forumBatten down the hatches: storms coming
The entire Bay Area should start to see downpours throughout Thursday, but the brunt of a storm sweeping across the region is expected to hit north counties the hardest with four inches of rain forecast to fall by Friday afternoon, forecasters said.
The precipitation was already being felt early Thursday in Sonoma County and parts of Marin County with the rainfall predicted to move southward into San Francisco at around 10 a.m., said Bob Benjamin, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Monterey. The rains will be relatively persistent, with a few half-hour breaks, from Thursday until Friday night when isolated showers will move in, he said.
Santa Rosa was reported to have received .65 inches of rain while the remote Sonoma County community of Venado had seen 2.32 inches as of 8 a.m. Thursday, he said.
The prospect of stormy conditions prompted the National Weather Service to issue a flash-flood watch for most of the Bay Area.

Raining strong and steady in south Napa County since about 9:00 am Thursday. Wow -- Sonoma has already been hammered.

No short term issues caused by the storms will outweigh the long term catastrophe looming if we don't get a hell of a lot more rain.
