Santa Cruz County is urging all residents to stay home if possible Monday.
Brayden Murdock, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, told SFGATE that Santa Cruz County is seeing some of the worst impacts of the storm for various reasons.
"The way the system is lining up is you have rain coming in from the southwest, which is the way the Santa Cruz Mountains face," he said."That's why the area is getting it worse than the North Bay mountains like Mount Tamalpais." Murdock added that the Santa Cruz Mountains have some of the"steepest slopes in the region," which contributes to rivers receiving a lot of rainfall. Furthermore, he said that the soil on the slopes is already very moist from past storms and unable to absorb the new rainfall.
