The next storm is expected to drop even more rain, with the weather service predicting between 2 and 4 inches throughout the region. Some isolated areas could get 6 inches, the agency said.
The winds also are expected to increase, according to the weather service. Gass said that by Sunday, wind gusts of up to 45 mph are likely along the upper peaks along the coast. In the lower elevations, the sustained gusts are expected to blow between 15 and 30 mph.
In the Sierra Nevada, the effects from the second storm likely will be felt the most on Monday, with snow expecting to dump above 5,000 feet and widespread travel impacts expected. The elevation for the snow is likely to drop by Tuesday.
