Flood Watch
Periods of moderate to heavy rain may fall this weekend over a
decent snowpack from the Christmas storm system. Rain/snow
elevations will be initially around 6500 to 7000 feet Saturday,
increasing runoff as the snow melts. Flows in rivers may increase
quickly and approach flood levels. Rain/snow elevations are forecast
to drop below 6000 feet Sunday into Monday.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...A portion of northeast California, including the following
area, Lassen-Eastern Plumas-Eastern Sierra Counties, including the
Susan River near Susanville, and the Middle Fork Feather River
near Portola.
* WHEN...From Saturday morning through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in isolated flooding of
rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone
locations including poor drainage areas. Rockfalls are also
possible in areas of steep terrain. The Susan River is currently
forecast to reach action stage by midday Saturday, and the Middle
Fork Feather River is currently forecast to reach action stage by
Monday afternoon. However, greater than expected rainfall and/or
delayed transition to snowfall could easily push the Susan and the
Middle Fork Feather rivers higher.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Enhanced runoff and sediment transport are likely below
recent burn areas, but debris flows are not expected.
