A Heavy Overnight Deluge In San Jose, CA (3-4-2017)

Heavy rain was observed this evening in the city! This was filmed from San Jose, CA. Despite the heavy deluge, not one flash of lightning was seen, unluckily. Nevertheless, talk about drought-busting storms this season so far! More interesting weather was in store for us the very next day... Drive safe out there guys. (Saturday evening, March 4, 2017) Weather scenario/forecast: A low pressure trough was developing off the coast. This trough was continuing to move slowly southward and then finally eastward across Northern California thru Sunday afternoon. Rain was to spread over the region this evening thru early Sunday as the system's front pushes in. The precipitation was to turn to showers Sunday afternoon and end by the evening hours or so. Some of the showers may bring small hail and some thunder on Sunday as well due to some convective activity. In addition, due to this storm being cold, a light dusting of snow is entirely possible around the Bay Area mountain peaks. There was to be a brief break from the rain, then a weaker storm system was forecast to move in by Monday. Light rain was expected with that system. By Wednesday & Thursday, a weak high pressure ridge was to be over the western U.S. with the jet stream just to our north. Dry weather was in store for our area during that duration. More rain chances exist by next weekend...
