Heads-up: for the next week, higher tides may bring water onto low-lying areas along San Francisco’s waterfront, even without rain.
If you’re planning a waterfront walk, bike ride, or outing, check conditions before you go. Take another route if a path or road floods, and never walk or drive through floodwater.
Follow the National Weather Service at weather.gov/mtr and sign up for AlertSF by texting your ZIP code to 888-777.
