Small Stream, Urban Flood Advisory Issued for Parts of 6 Bay Area Counties

Heavy rain around the region on Monday morning prompted the National Weather Service to issue an urban and small stream flood advisory for much of the Bay Area.

The advisory was in effect until 9 a.m. for parts of Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties and until 9:45 a.m. for Alameda and Santa Clara counties.

Motorists are advised to avoid flooded roads, which are hazardous in heavy rains, the weather service said.
