Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
A period of moderate to heavy rain is expected on today into Friday
as low pressure moves up the coast. The rain will fall on a primed
snowpack south of the mountains, leading to significant melt. The
combination of rain and snowmelt will increase flows in rivers and
streams, some of which could reach critical levels.

occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches with locally higher amounts is
possible in the watch area. This in combination with 1 to 2
inches of snowmelt will lead to small stream flooding. Urban
