The storm was expected to hit the Bay Area as early as Saturday, then work its way down the coast, affecting San Diego last. The National Weather Service office in Monterey said gusts of nearly 70 mph could whip the Central Coast community of Big Sur. “Avoid all travel on Sunday,” the weather service office that covers the Lake Tahoe area said. Another system could hit Southern California on Thursday, National Weather Service senior meteorologist Alex Tardy said in a video briefing Friday. The largest school district in the county, Santa Barbara Unified, will determine the status of Tuesday classes after checking the conditions at each school on Monday.
