“It’s beneficial rain, especially for the North Bay. We’re expecting a quarter inch — that’s enough to slow the peak fire season down in that area,” said Ryan Walbrun, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Weather forecasters said there was a very limited chance of rain in much of the East and South Bays. Still decent odds for a wetting rain across the North Bay this weekend. Extreme drought has spread to the North Coast, and all nine Bay Area counties are currently in a severe drought.
