"Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible from multiple lines of showers and thunderstorms, strong at times, moving across the area. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas, according to the NWS."
"Flash flood warning: Take action! A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is either imminent or already occurring. In flood-prone areas, it's crucial to move immediately to higher ground. A flash flood is a sudden and violent inundation that can develop within minutes to hours, and it can even happen in areas not currently experiencing rainfall. Flood warning: Take action! A flood warning is declared when flooding is on the verge of happening or is already underway."
NWS San Francisco placed a flood watch for Marin Coastal Range, Sonoma Coastal Range, North Bay Interior Mountains, Coastal North Bay including Point Reyes, and North Bay Interior Valleys until 10 p.m. Multiple lines of showers and thunderstorms, sometimes strong, may produce excessive rainfall and runoff. Rivers, creeks, streams, low-lying, poor drainage, and urban areas may flood as creeks and streams rise out of their banks. Residents should monitor forecasts, be alert for Flood Warnings, and be prepared to take action if flooding develops. Sandbag use instructions and county pickup locations for San Mateo, Alameda, and Santa Clara are provided.
