King Tides and Heavy Rain Swamp Bay Area as Flood Advisories Extend Into Monday

A rare overlap of king tides with a wet storm pattern drove coastal flooding that continues to strain low-lying communities.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service kept a coastal flood advisory in place for the Bay Area through Monday afternoon with additional rain forecast.
  • San Francisco saw floodwaters reported at 2.56 feet during the king tide, cited as the highest level since 1998 by local reporting.
  • Rescuers responded to water emergencies, including a San Francisco fire department rescue and multiple vehicles stuck in three to four feet of water in Marin County.
  • Marin communities such as Larkspur, Corte Madera, and Sausalito reported street flooding, business closures, and ongoing pumping as Caltrans monitored stretches of Highway 101.
  • Southern California faced storm fallout with mudslides, a highway closure near Goleta that later reopened, canceled flights at Santa Barbara airport, and one confirmed storm-related death.
