Bay Area Rain: Worst of it Likely Over

Update: 2:50 p.m.

BART had another power outage that halted traffic through the system for 15 minutes Sunday afternoon, BART spokesman Luna Salaver said.

The outage happened between 2:07 p.m. and 2:22 p.m. It was related to the other systemwide failure on Sunday, which shutdown BART for about an hour and ended at 10:18 a.m.

Power has been restored and all scheduled trains are running.

UPDATED 2:35 p.m.: The worst of the recent spate of wet weather has likely passed, and Bay Area residents may even see sunny skies Monday.

Rain is expected to return on Tuesday and continue Wednesday but amounts will be lighter, according to the National Weather Service. Dry weather will follow through Saturday.

Here's what we know so far, along with some resources you might find helpful. Stay dry!

UPDATE 10:50 a.m. Sunday:

BART has confirmed that service has been restored.

The interruption was due to a power outage at the BART operations control center, BART spokesperson Alicia Trost said. The outage lasted from 9:18 a.m. to 10:18 a.m. All trains are now back in service.

When the power was lost all trains went to the nearest station to unload passengers.

UPDATE 10:45 a.m. Sunday:
A BART spokeswoman has tweeted that service has been restored. We're trying to confirm.

The Contra Costa Times reported: "Around 9:18 a.m. power went out, possibly due to the nasty weather that dumped rain on the Bay Area and as a result trains can't move, said BART police Lt. Randy Gregson."

UPDATE 10:20 a.m. Sunday:

Some news organizations and Twitter users are reporting that BART service is either delayed or completely shut down due to a computer system failure.

We're checking and will update with details.

Forecast

The storms this week have produced as much as 10 inches of rain in areas of the Bay Area. An additional 7 inches in the hills and 3 at lower elevations is expected to fall today, according to the National Weather Service.

In the past, this level of rain has caused mudslides in the area and likely could do it again. The U.S Geological Survey is using instruments to monitor areas with known past landslide activity.

Visit the Red Cross website for information about landslides, flooding and other disasters.

Flood Zones

With the heaviest rainfall now passing out of the Bay Area, weather forecasters have downgraded predictions of flooding on the Napa River, though flood warnings remain in place in portions of the area, according to the Bay City News Service.

The USGS is also monitoring several Bay Area creeks approaching flood levels, including waterways in San Ramon, Union City, Castro Valley and Niles Canyon.
