A robust atmospheric river storm continued to inundate the Bay Area on Tuesday, shuttering highways due to flooding and prompting evacuation warnings in areas left scarred by wildfires and susceptible to mudslides and debris flows.
“We got word of a few minor mudslides and debris that moved around Santa Cruz and the CZU Lightening Complex burn scars,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Eleanor Dhuyvetter. “We also got reports of minor ponding in urban areas in San Francisco, Oakland and even in Monterey last night, but that could be due to clogged storm drains and bad drainage design. We really didn’t have anything noteworthy. A couple streams that rose a little bit but no really large flooding.”
