High Wind in Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast, California

The Lime Creek Road station operated by PG&E recorded a wind gust of 85 mph.

A rapidly intensifying cyclone and atmospheric river combined from February 3rd to the 5th, creating a period of strong winds, heavy rain, and high surf. The entire region saw numerous impacts including roadway flooding, fallen trees, and power outages. Flood prone areas near rivers and along the coast were evacuated. Notable impacts also included pre-emptive closing of state parks, the cancelation of the San Francisco Half-Marathon, and the PGA canceling the final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament. On Monday February 5, several schools were closed due to damage from the storm.
