The weekend's heavy rains soaked the San Francisco Bay Area, causing minor flooding, impacting sporting events and triggering power outages.
More rain is in the forecast beginning Tuesday morning, hitting the North Bay first then traveling south through the Bay Area. A half-inch to inch of rain is expected in the North Bay, with the rest of the area getting one-third to one-half an inch of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.
It will also be windy again, but not as gusty as last weekend, according to the NWS.
"Speeds don't look that impressive," the NWS reported Monday.
But the five-day rainfall totals for the Bay Area the NWS released Monday were impressive.
Venado, west of Healdsburg in Sonoma County, and Mount Umunhum, in Santa Clara County, topped the list with 15.88 and 15.72 inches of rain, respectively.
Here are rainfall totals from around the Bay Area.
