SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Northern California got a break Saturday from a wet and windy storm that downed trees and power lines, ripped through freeway and street signs and led to dozens of flight cancellations at San Francisco's airport.
But that break was expected to be short-lived, as another storm system barreled toward the region with more rain and wind.
The sun peeked through the clouds on Saturday in San Francisco, where scattered showers were expected throughout the day. The next storm system was forecast to hit on Sunday morning, bringing wind gusts as high as 45 mph and up to 3 inches of additional rain on coastal hills in the San Francisco Bay Area and another 1.5 inches on Bay Area cities.
"The winds will be up again, especially along the coast," said Austin Cross, a forecaster with the National Weather Service.
