SAN FRANCISCO -- One of the windiest and rainiest storms in five years swept across the San Francisco Bay Area on Thursday. Power was cut to the tens of thousands and delaying travel by air, train and ferry. Pacific Gas & Electric is reporting outages to over 70,000 across the Bay Area due to weather. The National Weather Service said," A storm an associated front off the West Coast will move inland to the Northern Rockies/Great Basin and the Southwest by Friday evening. The system will pull a plume of moisture into California that will produce moderate to heavy rain over Northern California and parts of the Pacific Northwest that will move southward to Southern California by Friday morning. The rain will wane to light rain along the West Coast by Friday evening. Moderate snow will develop over the Sierras late Thursday night into Friday morning, waning to light snow by Friday evening. A band of moderate to heavy rain will move farther inland, on Friday evening, to parts of the Great Basin/Southwest, with an area of light to moderate rain over the Northern Intermountain Region. Snow will also develop over parts of the Northern Rockies by Friday evening, too. Meanwhile, deep storm over the Northeast will slowly weaken and move out over the Western Atlantic by Friday evening. The system will produce light snow over parts of the Northeast that will wane to a band over parts of the Northern Appalachians by Friday. Light rain will develop over parts of New England Coast ending on Friday morning. Elsewhere, upper-level energy and moisture flowing northward from the Western Gulf of Mexico will produce rain with embedded thunderstorms over parts of the Southern Plains into parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday and Wednesday."
