Others include the Sacramento River at Ord Ferry, the Navarro River at Navarro in Mendocino County, the Russian River in Guerneville, Bear Creek at McKee Road in Merced, and the San Joaquin River.<\/p>\n<p>The silver lining, Messer said, is the relentless downpours have eased the state&#8217;s withering drought. Overall, statewide reservoir levels remain at about 75% of their average for this time of year, she said. That&#8217;s because the largest reservoirs were so low they take a lot of water to fill.<\/p>\n<p>Lake Oroville was at about 47% of its full capacity, Shasta Lake at about 42% of its capacity, Folsom Lake at 42% of its capacity and lastly San Luis reservoir at 40% of its capacity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had an amazing amount of rainfall,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Six-hour rain totals from the National Weather Service as of noon Friday showed just under half of an inch had fallen in San Francisco and San Mateo between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. Oakland received one-quarter of an inch, and Walnut Creek had one-third.

On the coast in places such as Half Moon Bay and Pacifica, forecasts showed half of an inch of rain paired with wind gusts reaching 30 mph. Projections were lower in the East Bay, with Livermore and Walnut Creek expected to reach no more than one-quarter inch of rain Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>Weather service meteorologist Eleanor Dhuyvetter said Saturday is a bigger concern, but those storms aren&#8217;t expected to be among the strongest the Bay Area has seen in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, &#8220;with things just so saturated right now, it really doesn&#8217;t take much for some of the flooding issues, and that&#8217;s kind of the impacts we&#8217;re seeing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saturday forecasts called for wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour and an inch of rainfall in downtown San Jose. In Oakland, rain totals could be as high as one inch with 24 mph winds, and San Francisco could see three-quarters of an inch with 21 mph gusts.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday could be even more moderate, with no more than one-quarter of an inch expected in urban centers.
