Flood Watch issued January 1 at 2:09PM PST until January 5 at 4:00PM PST by NWS Reno NV

Expires: Fri January 2, 2026, 4:30 PM

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 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. The Susan River is currently forecast to reach action stage by Saturday afternoon, 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. 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. - For river forecast updates: https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov For flood safety information: http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
