"The remnants of a tropical storm now pushing its way up through California could deliver anything from scattered showers to drenching thunderstorms in Berkeley this week, forecasters say. The first opportunity for rain will arrive overnight Wednesday as the former Tropical Storm Mario brings a mass of warm, moisture-rich air into the region, and precipitation could continue through Thursday and into Friday."
"But unlike winter storms that send consistent, soaking rain, National Weather Service Meteorologist Rick Canepa said this storm is expected to be more scattered. Potent thunderstorm cells might drench some areas and even create localized flooding the Weather Service has issued a flood watch for coastal mountains in Southern California for Thursday while other parts of the region stay dry. The storm system could bring a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain to Berkeley, Canepea said, but it's difficult to predict."
Forecasts indicate the remnants of Tropical Storm Mario will bring moisture-rich air into the region overnight Wednesday, with precipitation possible through Friday. Rainfall could range from scattered showers to intense thunderstorms producing heavy downpours in localized areas. Potent thunderstorm cells might cause localized flooding while other locations remain dry. A flood watch is in effect for coastal mountains in Southern California for Thursday. Even moderate rainfall would help reduce wildfire risk during a typically dangerous late-season period after months without significant rain. Forecasts remain uncertain, with Berkeley totals roughly estimated at 0.5 to 0.75 inches but not guaranteed.
