Heavy rain around the region on Monday morning prompted the National Weather Service to issue an urban and small stream flood advisory for much of the Bay Area.
The advisory, in effect until 9 a.m., is for parts of Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties.
Motorists are advised to avoid flooded roads, which are hazardous in heavy rains, the weather service said.
And on Sunday, the National Weather Service said to expect snow on some Bay Area peaks Monday morning.
Snow levels will drop to "around 1,000-1,500 feet tonight into Monday morning," the NWS said on its Twitter account. Mountain travel will remain "difficult to impossible," it said, as most passes remain closed into Monday.
Significant snowfall will continue for portions of West Coast mountain ranges and the intermountain west. Expect record cold in parts of Northern California. A steady fetch of Pacific moisture and anomalously cold temperatures through the atmospheric column will support heavy snowfall rates that will continue to blanket the mountain ranges of the West, with an emphasis on areas from the Sierra Nevada to the central Rockies.
The Sierra Nevada, which has already picked up several feet of snow the past few days, is expected to see an additional two to five feet of snow through Tuesday.
