SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) – Get ready Bay Area, wet weather is on the way.
According to the National Weather Service, an atmospheric river event is heading to the Bay Area this week causing flood concerns near recent burn areas.
Rain is expected to arrive as early as Tuesday afternoon and heavy rain is expected later that night.
A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for the East Bay Hills, North Bay, San Mateo County coast, and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
This watch goes into effect on Tuesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon.
The NWS says the ‘heavy rainfall may lead to debris flows and flash flooding.’
A Flood Watch has been issued as flooding is possible at this time, and residents should be prepared just in case.
In addition to the flood watch, the NWS issued a High Wind Watch, which has since been upgraded to warnings and advisories.
From Tuesday evening to Wednesday afternoon, high winds are expected with gusts between 50 to 70 miles per hour.
