Periods of moderate to heavy rain may fall over a decent snowpack from the Christmas storm system with a rain/snow elevation around 6500 to 7000 feet, increasing runoff as the snow melts. Flows in rivers may increase quickly and reach flood levels. * WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt is possible. * WHERE...A portion of northeast California covering the following areas, Lassen, Eastern Plumas and 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 flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Rockfalls are also possible in areas of steep terrain. Minor flooding is currently forecast for the Susan River on Saturday, January 3rd, and the Middle Fork Feather River is currently forecast to reach action stage by Sunday, January 4th. However, greater than expected rainfall and/or delayed transition to snowfall could easily push the Susan and the Middle Fork Feather River higher. Slow rises and high flows are also expected on the Pit River near Canby. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Enhanced runoff and sediment transport are likely below recent burn areas, but debris flows are not expected. The watch may be extended depending on how much additional rainfall we get before the snow levels drop. - For river forecast updates: https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov For flood safety information: http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
