In effect from Thursday 10/29 3:10 PM PDT – Sunday 11/01 6:00 PM PST
Issued by NWS San Francisco CA
What
Up to 1.9 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
Where
Bay Shoreline locations of San Pablo Bay, San Francisco Bay, and Monterey Bay.
When
Until 6 PM PDT Sunday.
Impacts
High tides will result in flooding of low-lying infrastructure, isolated road closures, and coastal erosion. Rising tides will bring water and waves farther up the beach than normal, restricting escape from beaches and coastal areas. More substantial impacts are expected along bayshore Marin County where increased flooding is anticipated across low lying areas.
Additional Details
At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 1.9 ft above normal (7.7 ft MLLW) at 02:39 PM Friday 10/30, 1.5 feet above normal (7.3 ft MLLW) at 03:44 PM on Saturday 10/31, and 1.0 ft above normal (6.8 ft MLLW) on Sunday 11/01 at 3:59 PM. These predictions include up to 1.5 ft of surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat. High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.
What to Do
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
Areas Impacted
