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.

Strong winds and rain from the atmospheric river storm hitting the Bay Area caused thousands of PG&E customers to lose power on Wednesday, the utility said.

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.
