The storms will start around the time of the morning commute on Wednesday and continue through the weekend, bringing winds of 40 to 50 mph and 1 to 3 inches of rain to most parts of the Bay Area, forecaster Steve Anderson said.
"This is certainly the biggest storm of the season so far," Anderson said. "Typically, we get our big rain events in December and January."
