Another winter storm moved through the Bay Area on Monday, bringing more rain, minor coastal flooding, a chance of thunderstorms and a rare tornado warning, according to the National Weather Service. The rare tornado warning was briefly in place around 4 p.m. in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties before expiring 15 minutes later. Residents in parts of Marin County were also still dealing with flooding they encountered since last week when this latest series of storms started to hit the region. Forecasters earlier in the day said moderate rain was expected across much of the Bay Area and Central Coast, raising the risk of flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, poor drainage areas and small streams. Forecasters said shallow landslides are possible in some locations, especially where rain falls hardest. Along the coast and bayshore, king tides combined with storm surge may lead to minor coastal flooding. Lots, parks and some roads may flood, though only isolated road closures are expected. In San Francisco, the highest tide were expected to reach about 1.2 feet above normal around midday, increasing flooding risks in vulnerable shoreline areas. Thunderstorms are also possible Monday, though severe storms are not expected. Any thunderstorm may produce lightning and brief heavy rain, adding to localized flooding concerns, forecasters said. Rain totals vary by area. The North Bay receives the most, with 1 to 2 inches expected and higher amounts in elevated terrain. San Francisco and much of the Peninsula pick up around an inch, while the East Bay, South Bay, Santa Cruz County, Monterey County and San Benito County generally see up to an inch, with locally higher amounts in the mountains and along Big Sur, according to the NWS. The unsettled weather does not end with rain. Hazardous beach conditions are expected later in the week, from Thursday through Friday, with large breaking waves, strong rip currents and sneaker waves creating dangerous conditions along the shoreline. Cold mornings will return by Friday and continue into the weekend. Overnight temperatures drop into the mid-30s to low-40s, posing risks to unhoused people, pets, livestock and sensitive plants, forecasters said.
