Bay Area To Receive 'Decent Showering' Thursday

Rain in the Bay Area is expected to reach anywhere from a quarter of an inch to a half an inch Thursday, according to National Weather Service officials.

The amount of rain may be slightly higher in coastal elevated areas, particularly in parts of Sonoma County, weather service forecaster Bob Benjamin said.

The rain should last until the early evening and is not part of a major front, Benjamin said.

Thursday’s rain should, however, result in a “decent watering,” Benjamin said.

About 676 PG&E customers near Bodega Bay are experiencing power outages, although the cause of the outage is unknown, according to PG&E’s outage website.

The outages started at 10:05 a.m. Power was expected to be restored around noon, according to the website.
