Incoming megastorm will bring risk of thunder, lightning to parts of California coast

Residents of the California Central Coast and portions of the South Bay are advised to remain vigilant as the National Weather Service issues a marginal risk (15-30% chance) of severe weather on Sunday, February 4th.

Meanwhile, for the rest of the Bay Area, thunderstorms remain a possibility on Sunday, necessitating ongoing monitoring of the latest forecasts.

Current weather conditions mirror those observed the previous day, with showers, slight storm chances, and cloudy skies persisting through the morning. However, significant changes are expected as the day progresses, particularly in the afternoon and evening.

Key messages from the National Weather Service highlight the impending weather system’s impact, which is expected to intensify as Saturday evening progresses into Monday.

Anticipated impacts include flooding of roads, streams, and poorly draining areas, prompting the continuation of Flood Watches across the region. A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for the River Burn Area.

Furthermore, the potential for downed trees exists due to strong, gusty winds, particularly along the coast and in high elevations.
