Weather Update from NWS MTR

From MTR AFD:

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1011 AM PST Thu Feb 13 2025

First and foremost - There are numerous hazards currently in
effect and too many to list here. Therefore, please check our
socials or weather.gov/bayarea for the most up to date
information. Also, please heed all road closures and evacuation
from our local county partners. Finally, if you are driving or
traveling around the Bay Ara and Central Coast this morning allow
for extra time. You may encounter flooded roads and if you do,
turn around. You`re in a car, not a boat.

Now onto the weather...the much anticipated cyclone and associated
AR are definitely impacting the region this morning. Most
notably, the precip associated with the moisture plume streaming
overhead.Satellite PWAT shows nearly 200 percent of normal. In
other words, a very moisture rich environment. The amount of rain
and intensity has led to a variety of hydro issues from minor
flooding to rapid rises on creeks and streams. Rainfall amounts
over the last 12 hours are greatest along orographically favored
locations (coastal mountains): 1.5-3" N Bay coastal mts, 3-5"
Santa Cruz Mts, Santa Lucia 3-5" with a few 6+". In addition to
the rain, winds ramped up as the closed low inches eastward with
gusts 40-60 mph with a few up to 75 mph.

Into the afternoon...did a quick update to the official forecast
this morning. For the most part the update was done to better
reflect reality with timing and coverage. The cold front
associated with the closed low continues to march S and E across
the forecast area. This can be seen on satellite and radar -
distinct line. Behind the front, precip will transition from
widespread stratiform to more cellular and convective. As such,
thunderstorms will be in the forecast for this afternoon. Main
concern will be localized heavy rainfall leading to additional
flooding concerns.

Simply put, stay weather aware today.
