Debris Flow Concerns Central Coast

Mid-Week Storm Rainfall Totals

Rain is on the way for the Central Coast, bringing 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain—with higher amounts near the Plaskett and Timber Burn areas. Because recent wildfires have left burn areas vulnerable, brief intense heavy rain could quickly trigger rock, mud, and debris flows near Highway 1.

Widespread beneficial rainfall is expected tonight through Thursday across the Bay Area and Central Coast. There is a low (<30%) chance for thunderstorm development over the Big Sur coast. The expected rain amounts may result in slick roadways, minor roadway flooding in poor drainage areas, as well as potential debris flows over wildfire burn scars.
