Two people have been found dead in Sonoma County in less than 24 hours from the effects of the atmospheric river storm systems battering the Bay Area this week, authorities said Thursday.

In Sonoma County, it was a cleanup day and a preparation day for another storm that could hit next week. Once again, the earth in the slide areas is trying to dry out after getting slammed again on Thursday.

The last two weeks of storms in the North Bay wrapped up Friday, giving residents a weekend reprieve before another storm rolls into the region, according to the weather service.

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office on Friday confirmed the identity of the two men who were found deceased in storm-related incidents earlier this week.
