The cumulative effect of additional several inches+ of rainfall after recent heavy precipitation will lead to considerable flood impacts across much of central and northern California, including rapid water rises, rock slides and mudslides. Minor to isolated major river flooding is expected through the weekend into next week, with record river levels possible. Numerous instances of flash flooding and debris flows are possible over burn scar areas. Furthermore, an additional 1-3 feet of snow is also possible during this event across the Klamath and Sierra Nevada Ranges, which will lead to dangerous travel conditions, especially over 4000 feet. Little reprieve from the excessively wet pattern is expected through midweek as additional heavy rain, snow, and gusty winds will persist with a more intense atmospheric river Monday. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 700 PM PST. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event.
