* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- This prolonged strong Atmospheric River storm system will
bring periods of heavy rain through late this week. Potential
flooding impacts include the threat of significant and
widespread urban roadway flooding, a high risk of major rock
and mud slides, and rapid rises in creeks, streams, and
rivers which will likely lead to swift water rescues. The
recent burn scars will be at risk for debris flows, possibly
damaging. These flooding impacts will likely lead to
significant travel delays and road closures during this busy
holiday travel period.
