For Whom Are Driving North Soon cut n paste


(02-07) 09:02 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- Northern California is bracing for the biggest storm of the season Friday, with forecasters predicting that heavy rain will arrive just in time for the evening commute.

"The storm door is opening," said Steve Anderson, a forecaster with the National Weather Service. "Once it starts, the hose will be pointed right at the North Bay."

Showers began early Friday north of the Golden Gate, but the main event won't make landfall until the afternoon. When it does, it will be impressive: The coastal hills of Sonoma County could see as much as 10 inches of rain over the weekend, and forecasters are warning of localized flooding of small streams.

The rain is expected to move south as the day goes on, hitting the central Bay Area as people take to the roadways to start their weekends. A few showers were already falling in San Francisco by 9 a.m.

Only if "The Pineapple Express" cranks up. For forecasting purposes the National Weather Service acts like a Fart In A Whirlwind. Absolutely useless.

The reservoirs are dry, the watersheds feeding them are inadequate to let .01% of the rain in this storm flow into them.

But driving is going to be a bear and from the looks of things this system is no joke and it is headed for southern California.

Time to go out and wash the Escalade before the repo tow truck arrives...
