A wind advisory is in effect through 4 p.m. Thursday for the East Bay and San Francisco. But the good news is the “widespread rain is over for the heart of the Bay Area,” Mehle said. “The stronger stuff is shifting down towards Monterey.”
Airports across the region grounded planes due to the weather. Nearly 350 flights were delayed and 54 were canceled so far Thursday at San Francisco International Airport due to weather, a spokesperson said.
There were far fewer cancellations out of Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport, where 10 flights were canceled and nine delayed, an airport spokesperson told KQED. There were no delays or cancellations out of San José Mineta International Airport.

Minor flooding hit urban areas including San Francisco, San José and parts of the East Bay, according to the weather service, which issued flood advisories that have since been lifted for low-lying areas in San Francisco, San Mateo and northwestern Santa Clara counties, as well as parts of Marin and Sonoma counties.
Behringer said there was flooding “up and down Highway 101” through Santa Clara, as well as in Morgan Hill, the Santa Cruz area and in Marin County.
Caltrans’ map of partial road closures and hazards was lit up in yellow and black exclamation marks Thursday afternoon, with flooding and wind issues affecting some lanes and ramps on major highways across the region, from Sonoma to San Francisco to San José.
