Although the most of the storm and heavy rain have passed, the National Weather Service warned that isolated severe thunderstorms might still occur in some areas of the Bay Area.

According to the NWS, there is a little chance of a severe storm, and it will only persist until Saturday AM. Up until Saturday at 10 a.m., the Interior Bay Area and Interior Central Coast are under a wind advisory.

It will be much drier today, but isolated rain activity is anticipated throughout the afternoon. The forecast calls for drier conditions through Sunday, with the possibility of fog in the early hours of the day.

Coastal flooding is anticipated along San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay until Monday at 1 p.m., and a flood advisory is in force for a portion of Petaluma until 1:30 p.m.

Daytime highs on Saturday are expected to be in the mid- to high-sixties inland, the mid- to low-sixties along the bay, and the high- to low-sixties along the coast. The majority of overnight lows will be in the mid-30s to low-40s.

The Bay Area was at risk of flooding due to “impactful” rain predicted by the National Weather Service on Friday night and Saturday. Those worries about floods in Livermore became police warnings. According to Livermore police, severe flooding forced the closure of many of their under-crossings, and vehicles attempting to pass were becoming trapped.
