🌊 COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY EXTENDED THROUGH THE WEEKEND 🌊

The Coastal Flood Advisory has been extended across low-lying coastal and bayfront areas due to elevated water levels around times of peak high tide. Up to 1.9 feet of inundation above ground level is possible near shorelines, parking lots, and tidal waterways.

TIMING & LOCATIONS:
Pacific Coast: Extended until 6:00 PM Saturday
San Pablo Bay, San Francisco Bay, and Monterey Bay: Extended until 6:00 PM Sunday

IMPACTS & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Low-lying coastal roads, walkways, and docks may experience minor flooding during high tide cycles.
Allow extra commute time if traveling near vulnerable shorelines, as some roads may become impassable or closed.
Turn Around, Don't Drown: Do not drive around barricades or attempt to drive through water of unknown depth.
Take precautions now to secure or protect flood-prone property.

Monitor local tide tables and stay tuned for forecast updates: weather.gov/BayArea

Is your home protected by working smoke alarms? Install alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of your home, including the basement. Test them monthly, and replace alarms that are 10 years old. For added protection, choose interconnected alarms so they all sound when one detects smoke.

Take a few minutes to check yours today.
