However, the odds of that playing out are low, as most weather models are forecasting a more southern track for the storm. Based on that model run, the storm system would also intensify quickly over the course of the morning, which could make it reach bomb cyclone criteria. and noon on Tuesday, which would raise gusts by an additional 10 to 15 mph across most cities along San Francisco Bay. One run of the European weather model on Monday afternoon suggested a track that briefly wobbles closer to the Peninsula, stalling over the region between 6 a.m. While the path of the storm was unclear late last week, its track has been trending away from the Santa Cruz Mountains over the past few days. Some of these gusts will radiate north into the Santa Cruz Mountains and the hillsides in San Mateo County facing the Pacific Coast.
Some of the strongest winds are slated for the Central Coast, with gusts likely above 65 mph along Highway 1 between Monterey and San Luis Obispo. Tuesday’s storm will spin south toward Monterey Bay this morning, tapping into a Pineapple Express that will fuel its rains, winds and thunderstorms. Gusts over 50 and 60 mph will be possible near the water and some of the region's tallest peaks. Tuesday's wind forecast calls for gusts along Monterey Bay, the Salinas Valley, Big Sur mountains and most of the Central Coast. The stage is set for a return to turbulent weather in the Bay Area.
These downpours will have the potential to raise gusts, lightning and small hail. Some of the biggest impacts to the Bay Area on Tuesday will be heavy rainfall during the morning commute and the risk of thunderstorms around the evening rush hour.

In the county we have additional staffing and will be monitoring and responding to fires that occur.” “Fuels are incredibly dry for this time of year and are very receptive to ignition. The city itself should be OK, but there is a very strong potential of multiple fire starts in our area and particularly across Northern California,” he told Lookout by email. “The storm track is predicted to come through the Hwy 17 corridor and move into the North Bay. Santa Cruz Fire Chief Jason Hajduk said Friday that local officials would be watching the storm’s development closely this weekend. This time around, we are at near to below normal temperatures with no additional tropical influences, though drought-induced record dry fuels at higher elevations are still a cause for concern.” That event was exacerbated by record heat & dry air as well as nearly double the moisture and instability due to the remnants of tropical storm Fausto.
