San Francisco, CA – A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 1 a.m. Tuesday across the San Francisco Bay Area, raising concerns for minor flooding along low-lying shoreline roads and piers.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory—issued for the coastline from Monterey Bay through San Francisco—warns of tides running 1 to 2 feet above normal during the late evening and early morning high tide cycle. Drivers and pedestrians in flood-prone spots, including Embarcadero in San Francisco and coastal areas of Marin County, should expect localized standing water overnight into early Tuesday.
While widespread rainfall isn’t expected, a slight chance of drizzle will persist overnight into Tuesday morning, with cloudy skies and a high near 63°F. Winds could gust up to 18 mph along the coast, adding to choppy surf and potential wave run-up. Conditions will begin to improve Tuesday night as clouds give way to gradual clearing by Wednesday.
Residents should avoid walking or parking near tidal creeks and low-lying roads during high tide. The rest of the week looks calmer, with sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s expected through Saturday.
