San Francisco, CA – The Bay Area experienced another stormy day as a Level 2 storm on the ABC7 Storm Impact Scale brought widespread rain and heavy downpours to the region. The combination of significant rainfall and the recent King Tides increased the risk of localized flooding, prompting weather officials to issue advisories earlier in the day.
Coastal Flood Advisory Expires
Good news for residents and commuters: the Coastal Flood Advisory that had been in effect earlier expired at 3 p.m. on Monday. Authorities say that flooding concerns are diminishing as the storm begins to weaken and rainfall tapers off.
Despite the advisory expiring, residents are reminded that rain will continue through the evening, gradually ending overnight. Local waterways, streets, and low-lying areas may still experience temporary water accumulation, so caution is advised for drivers and pedestrians.
Weather Outlook: Drying Trend Ahead
Looking forward, the Bay Area can expect a week of drying conditions. While light, scattered showers may linger into the Tuesday morning commute, meteorologists predict partial clearing by Tuesday afternoon.
Wednesday marks the start of a series of sunny and dry days, a pattern expected to continue into early next week. Residents should note that mornings may remain cold, particularly toward the end of the week, so early commuters should plan accordingly.
