WHAT: According to the National Weather Service an Atmospheric River will be impacting Monterey County
from Sunday evening, 12/12/2021 to Tuesday morning, 12/14/2021. The Flash Flood Warning

remain vigilant and be aware of any land movement. If weather patterns change or land movement
occurs, additional evacuation warnings or orders may be issued. If you are concerned about your
