SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A flood advisory issued for parts of the Bay Area has been extended until at least 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
The advisory starts near South San Francisco and reaches down south of San Gregorio, so some areas of the Peninsula could be impacted. The NWS says minor flooding is expected, including flooding of highways, streets and underpasses.
Early Saturday morning, residents in the community of Pajaro faced evacuations after the Pajaro Levee was breached around midnight. The breach in the levee is now more than 120 feet wide.
A full closure of Highway 1 was initiated Sunday morning between Salinas Road and Highway 129 in both directions near Watsonville, according to Caltrans District 5. Officials say a detour along Highway 156 to US 101 and then back to Hwy 129.
The flood advisory issued earlier in the day for areas along the Salinas River in Monterey County is in effect until further notice. Residents are told to expect flooding of urban areas and roadways, according to NWS.
