An Atmospheric River Batters California With Wind and Rain (11-30-2019)

In this video, it shows our first atmospheric river bringing in unsettled weather to California, particularly here around San Jose, CA. I was with my mom doing some errands around town at the time so at the same time, I was observing the weather. During the afternoon hours this day, the winds were the more notable feature with this system. The rainy feature came overnight. What a way to end the month of November with unsettled weather! This was just the beginning of this atmospheric river event. This system was to continue to bring more rain and even stronger winds by the very next day/evening during the 1st day of December... This year is flying by so fast! Anyway, stay safe out on the roads fellas... (Footage filmed Saturday, November 30, 2019)
*Weather update/scenario:
The first ‘atmospheric river’ of the season has arrived in the Bay Area and was forecast to stay until Tuesday or so. Two to four inches of rain was expected for most of the Bay Area. However, our local hills and mountains may see more than 4 inches of rain. Rainfall had picked up Saturday night into Sunday, with scattered showers lasting thru Tuesday. Wind speeds were ranging from 20-40 mph with higher gusts locally. Along the coast and at the highest peaks, winds were gusting to more than 60 mph. The strongest winds were expected to occur from Saturday evening thru Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Wind advisories and high wind warnings were issued along the Bay Area coastlines.... This atmospheric river was part of a low pressure area that was off the coast. Through Tuesday, we were to have rainy, unsettled weather and decrease by Wednesday. After a very brief lull in the rains, by Thursday, another low pressure trough was to be approaching the coast. This trough was to bring in additional rain to the state Thursday night thru early Saturday. Overall, expect rainy, showery weather in the coming week...
