This week’s atmospheric river storm smashed some heavy rainfall records in parts of the Bay Area, especially the North Bay, before mostly petering out by Saturday morning. Downtown Santa Rosa received 12.47 inches of rain in a three-day period, the National Weather Service said on social media, breaking a thousand-year record.
As of Saturday morning, the Santa Rosa Airport has seen 386% of its normal rainfall amounts since Oct. 1, National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Walbrun told SFGATE.
“They’re at 15.48 inches, and they should be at 4.01 for a normal year,” Walbrun said.
The bomb cyclone storm system first battered the Pacific Northwest this week, killing two people in Seattle and causing power outages throughout the region beginning Tuesday before arriving in Northern California.
