A storm will begin knocking on the Bay Area's door Thursday, but Friday is the start of thunderstorms. heavy rain and cold temps.
TRI-VALLEY, CA — As rain continues in the East Bay, forecasters are eyeing a cold front that is expected to move into the region Friday.
Although the storm will have "less fire hose parked over the coast" than what the region saw over the holiday weekend, it will bring the possibility of moderate to heavy rain spread throughout the area, especially over the East Bay hills, according to the National Weather Service.
The Friday cold front that is forecast to last through Sunday "will not be as juicy" or as long as the past weekend's "Atmospheric River" event, but it could bring 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain Friday through Sunday in the East Bay hills, according to the NWS. Most urban areas should see totals closer to .75 to 1.5 inches of rain.
