Storm tracker map: When will rain arrive in the Bay Area

A storm that could bring close to a half-inch of rain to much of the Bay Area — and perhaps 2½ inches in the Santa Cruz Mountains — is expected to arrive on Sunday evening.

The wind ahead of the storm was already in evidence by 1 p.m.; it’s expected to increase until the rain starts falling, around 6 p.m. in San Francisco and on the Peninsula, and an hour or two after that in the South Bay and Contra Costa County.

The updating radar map above shows areas of rain in green, with greater intensities indicated by yellow and orange. (Zoom out to see the bands over the Pacific.)

The forecast calls for showers to continue into Monday evening.
