Some coastal locations may receive upwards of 4 to 6 inches, according to the weather service, which cautioned community members that roadway flooding is the most likely impact that will be felt in affected areas.

Isolated thunderstorms and stronger showers are possible Sunday night into Monday, especially in the North Bay, while gusty southerly winds will pick up during the same period, forecasters said.

There is also a decent chance for stronger showers on Wednesday projected for the areas near Santa Cruz and Big Sur.
