PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Those living, working, or recreating along or near the river should 
prepare for flood conditions and be ready to move to higher ground. 
Follow emergency official instructions.

Flooding can cause additional hazards like bank collapse and channel 
erosion. Avoid areas adjacent to a flooding river. Do not let 
children play near floodwaters...especially around culverts and storm
drains.

Do not drive through flood prone areas...low water crossings...or go 
around barricades. The road ahead may be undermined or washed out and
the water depth too great to allow your car to cross safely.

For the latest developments listen to NOAA Weather Radio or tune to 
your local tv or radio station. Information can also be obtained from
the NWS website at www.wrh.noaa.gov/mtr

The next statement will be issued by (...enter date and time...) or

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS San Francisco Bay Area, CA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 13, 4:20 PM PST, 4 hours 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 13, 4:20 PM PST, 4 hours 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
420 PM PST Wed Feb 13 2019

.SYNOPSIS...While there will be a brief lull in precipitation for
most urban areas this afternoon, another round of widespread
rainfall is expected over the region tonight into Thursday morning.
Moderate to heavy rainfall and strong winds are expected with the
potential for isolated thunderstorms. These conditions will result
in an increase in flooding region-wide along with downed trees and
isolated to scattered power outages. Showers will then linger into
the first half of the weekend along with cooler temperatures.

&&

.DISCUSSION...as of 02:57 PM PST Wednesday...Recent radar and
satellite trends are showing the break lull in precipitation
across the region as anticipated. However, strong southwest flow
and deep moisture advection across the region is resulting in
steady rainfall along the coastal ranges and portions of the North
Bay. With rainfall amounts of 0.25" to 0.35" per hour with this
activity, look for ongoing flooding concerns along the coastal
ranges and smaller creeks/streams in these regions. Meanwhile,
aside from a few passing rain showers, drier conditions will
continue most valleys and urban areas outside of the North Bay
through the afternoon hours. In addition to the rainfall, strong
and gusty winds persist along the coast and in the region's higher
elevations. With this, a High Wind Warning for these areas and
Wind Advisory for lower elevations and inland areas will continue.
Given the saturated soils region-wide, the threat for downed
trees and isolated to scattered power outages will continue.

Another up-tick in precipitation is expected late tonight over the
North Bay which will then spread southward through Thursday morning.
As the rainfall increases in coverage and intensity, widespread
flooding will likely become a greater concerns. The greatest threat
for flooding will be in the North Bay and along the coastal ranges
through midday Thursday. As this next mid/upper level disturbance
approaches the region tonight into Thursday morning, the threat for
isolated thunderstorms will also exist. The greatest concern from
this will be strong gusty winds and brief downpours which will only
increase the threat for flooding. Another round of strong winds is
also expected during this timeframe again with the forecast models
showing indicating another shot of damaging winds over areas such as
the southern portion of the Monterey Peninsula. Coastal flooding
will also be an issue around the San Francisco Bay Shoreline
including portions of Marin County around high tide Thursday morning
(~6 AM PST) as a result of storm surge and runoff.

Additional rainfall through Thursday morning will range from 2-4" in
the North Bay, 0.5-1.5" in the Bay Area, 0.5-1" in the South Bay and
Monterey Bay Region with coastal areas picking up 4-6" (locally up
to 8" in the highest coastal peaks). In wake of the passing system,
cooler and showery conditions will continue into Friday and
Saturday. Colder air advection will also lower snow levels to
between 3,000-4,000 feet resulting in light snow in the region's
higher peaks/ridges. Drier conditions develop by Saturday afternoon
with precipitation coming to an end by Sunday afternoon. Seasonably
cool conditions are likely early next week with overnight lows
dropping into the 30s and 40s.

Medium range models keep a cool, unsettled pattern over the region
for the middle of next week with the potential for some rain showers
and lower snow levels. At this time, not expecting widespread heavy
precipitation however. Will continue to monitor the forecast
solutions in the coming days and fine tune this portion of the
forecast period as we wrap up our current system.

&&

.AVIATION...As of 4:20 PM PST Wednesday...MVFR cigs in the SFO
Bay Area with areas of lower cigs in the North Bay. Currently
there is a short break in the rain but another frontal system will
be arriving tonight. Focus of the rain is on the North Bay but light
to moderate rain can be expected in the SFO and MRY Bay Area late
tonight and Thursday morning. Rain turns to showers during the
daylight morning hours. Very gusty conditions all the way through
Thursday with the strongest winds on Thursday.

Vicinity of KSFO...Currently a break in the rain but it will
return after 04Z. Winds continue southeasterly through Thursday
morning. Gusts to 25 kt increasing to 30-40 kt after 10Z. An
Airport Weather Warning may be needed tomorrow.

SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO.

Monterey Bay Terminals...Rain shadowing will keep VFR conditions
but with gusty winds to 25-30 kt. Winds will pick up again after
04Z as another system approaches but rain shadowing will keep
precip limited until the frontal boundary gets close late tonight.

&&

.MARINE...as of 03:58 PM PST Wednesday...Dangerous conditions will
persist over the coastal waters with  widespread gale force winds
and occasional storm force gusts up to 60 kt. These strong winds
will result in steep wind wave, fresh  swell and a chaotic sea
state. Winds will gradually diminish  Thursday afternoon.
Northwest swells will continue to impact the  waters through the
forecast period with a large northwest swell  arriving Thursday
into Friday.. Mariners are urged to use extra  caution at least
through Thursday.
