Storms Headed Our Way, Five Days Of Rain in the Forecast

Get out your umbrella as a series of storms is expected to hit the Bay Area

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

A series of storms is expected to hit the Bay Area this week.

Rain is forecasted to start early Wednesday with at least showers every day through Sunday.

Breezy conditions are also expected on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night.

High temperatures are expected to reach only the high 50s.

If flooding occurs, residents can retrieve empty sand bags at two locations. One is in front of City Hall. The other is at the public works corporation yard at 300 Alhambra Avenue.

There are five locations where Martinez residents can pick up sand. They are Nancy Boyd Park, F Street off Alhambra Avenue, Ferry and Allen streets, Rankin Park and Highland Avenue Park.

The storms might also dampen some of the holiday activities planned around Martinez.

Among them is the Children's Light Parade, scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday on Main Street.

The storms might also make holiday shopping a little more challenging.

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!
