(KRON) — The Bay Area braces for yet another storm set to begin on Thursday. With the soil already saturated from this winter’s parade of storms, downed trees, flooding and clogged storm drains pose a serious safety threat.

A flood watch has been issued for the Bay Area starting Thursday night extending into Sunday morning. Officials are urging residents to take advantage of the calm before the storm on Wednesday to prepare their homes and property for potential flooding. A wind advisory is also in effect for the Bay Area on Thursday and Friday predicting winds between 20 and 30 miles per hour and gusts of up to 50 miles per hour.

The National Weather Service posted rain total records for March 9 and March 10 with records stemming back to the 1930s in some areas.
