The National Weather Service (NWS) in San Francisco issued a flood warning for possible flooding near Carmel Lagoon and Carmel River State Beach due to heavy rains that are producing rapid rises in the Carmel River.
He added that an extra one to two inches of rain is possible in the warned area.
He called on residents to turn back if they encounter flooded roads, as most flood deaths occur in vehicles, and suggested staying away from the area and avoiding riverbanks and culverts, which tend to become unstable and unsafe places.
The NWS in San Francisco said rain will continue throughout the Bay Area region, mainly in the south and central coast, while scattered showers have appeared over the ocean and will move into the North Bay and San Francisco, so rainy conditions are forecast for much of Thursday.
