I'm kinda worried about this storm system hitting the Bay Area tonight

The 5-day forecast shows a high chance of precipitation, with up to 3 inches expected in some areas

That's like, a lot of rain! And don't even get me started on the winds - 40 miles per hour?

That's crazy! The National Weather Service is being super cautious with this one, and I'm inclined to agree. According to historical data, storms like this can cause an average of $1 billion in damages

In 2023 alone, we saw over 50 storm-related fatalities across the country

So yeah, let's all just take a deep breath, grab our umbrellas, and hunker down for this one
Here are some stats to put things into perspective:
* Average annual rainfall in San Francisco: 20 inches
* Projected total rainfall in the Bay Area tonight: up to 3 inches
* Number of days with heavy precipitation in a typical year: 2.5
* Average wind speed during winter storms: 25 miles per hour
* Storm surge warning issued for coastal areas: yes
Let's all stay safe and informed!
