Nov. 22, 5 p.m. A flash flood alert in San Francisco has been downgraded to a flood warning as the intense downpour from a California atmospheric river slows down in the city but continues to pummel other parts of the Bay Area. San Francisco’s flood warning is in effect until 6:45 p.m., the National Weather Service said in a social media post.

A third day of an atmospheric river storm has inundated Northern California and the Bay Area, with the storm spreading from the North Bay south across the region, flooding creeks, roads, and low-lying areas.

After flood waters from heavy rainstorms deluged two small farmworker towns in January 2023, California set aside $20 million each for the communities to rebuild.
