A line of storms that ushered in a chilly, soggy start to December should continue to move across Northern California early this week.
It’s all owed to a ridge of low pressure that is expected to move across Northern California, bringing more chances for rain and snow over the next couple of days. Already, nearly the entire Bay Area saw rain overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning, according to rain gauges maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Between a quarter and a third of an inch of rain fell over Oakley, Brentwood and the summit of Mount Diablo from about 8 p.m. Saturday through 8 a.m. Sunday, the agency reported. Nearly a tenth of an inch of rain fell over Oakland, while San Francisco and San Jose saw a few hundreds of an inch of fresh precipitation. More than a half-inch of rain fell over the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The highest rainfall totals were centered around Big Sur and the southern end of Monterey County, which saw upwards of 10 to 11 inches of rain the past several days. The abundant moisture caused a rockslide that closed a portion of Highway 1 between Ragged Point and Big Sur.
