Continuous rainfall would hit over a 48-hour period in some already sodden areas across the state, including the central coast, the Los Angeles basin and in the mountain ranges. This heavy rainfall will bring the threat for life-threatening flash, urban, and river flooding as well as debris flows and mudslides.
The National Weather Service issued its first ever warning of hurricane force winds for the San Francisco area in northern California, with winds strong enough to cause flight cancellations and diversions out of San Francisco airport while, further south, the federal service gave a rare high risk of flash flooding warning for Los Angeles. Wind gusts of up to 85mph were also reported along the Big Sur coast Sunday morning, as the storm pulled down power lines and created other hazards along Highway 1.
