The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the Bay Area, as an atmospheric river storm ushers the return of wet weather to the region following a mostly dry January.

The Bay Area woke up on Tuesday to the sound of pattering rain from a winter storm that soaked the region overnight, and forecasters say it’s only expected to intensify as a cold front moves through this afternoon.

The second peak of an ongoing atmospheric river storm arrived in Northern California Monday afternoon, prompting flood watches and a winter storm warning up in the Sierra.
