Showers and high winds led to a number of power outages in the Bay Area Friday, according to PG&E.
More than 2,000 people had lost power in the North Bay and more than 1,000 had lost power in the Peninsula as of 3 p.m. Friday, Pacific Gas and Electric officials said.
Hundreds were without power in the South Bay, around 60 were without power in the East Bay, and almost 40 were without power in San Francisco.
“PG&E’s service area continues experiencing outage activity as another cold weather system produces scattered showers and a few isolated thunderstorms this afternoon,” Mayra Tostado, a PG&E spokeswoman, said in a statement.
Some cities are seeing small hail and lightning strikes, according to Tostado. Storms are expected to continue through Sunday.
