It's currently pouring cats and puppies outside SFist HQ, and we feel woefully under-informed about this development. We just read this morning that the heaviest rain was supposed to hit north of here, and, well, this looks heavy to us! Another typhoon remnant, you ask? No, but The Weather Underground is now noting this "heavy band of rain" moving across the city, and drivers are advised to be careful in their commutes -- especially if you're heading east or north where flooding may occur. And is it just us, or is all the downpouring lately feeling way more Decemberish than Octoberish to you? more ›

Get out those water wings, kids! The worst of the rain is expected to fall today between, um, right now (7 a.m.) and 7 p.m. tonight, and there's a wind advisory in effect until 11 a.m., at which point the gusts of 60 to 70 m.p.h. should subside and leave us with just mildly unbearable wind and rain through tomorrow. The 280-101 connection at 6th Streetis closed due to flooding.
