A major shift in weather is on the horizon for the Bay Area, with a powerful storm system forecast to bring heavy rain, strong winds and potential thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service.

Rain pelted the Bay Area again Friday morning as the most intense part of the second wave in a storm pattern whipped its way onto shore accompanied by cold, gusty winds similar to those that blew during the first round.

The Bay Area’s latest storm system delivered a powerful mix of heavy winds, scattered thunderstorms and steady rainfall. Though flooding wasn’t reported Wednesday, the gusts were strong enough to knock out power.

Heavy rain is expected to make its way back to the Bay Area on Friday after a storm system raged across the region on Wednesday.
