NOAA Issues Flood Watch

...VERY WET PERIOD STARTING EARLY FRIDAY AND LASTING THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND...

.A SERIES OF STRONG AND WET SYSTEMS ARE TAKING AIM AT NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA STARTING LATE TONIGHT...AND SHOULD LAST THOUGH THE
WEEKEND. ALTHOUGH SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOWERING TO AROUND 3000 FEET
OR EVEN BELOW...SOILS ARE VERY SATURATED FROM THE RAIN OVER THE
PAST WEEK. THESE SATURATED SOILS IN ADDITION TO PERIODS OF
MODERATE AND HEAVY RAIN OR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS
WILL LIKELY CAUSE RAPID RISES ON AREA STREAMS AND CREEKS AND
POTENTIALLY SOME FLOODING IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND FOOTHILLS.
THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME FLOODING IN STREETS AND LOW LYING AREAS.
DEBRIS FLOWS AND MUDSLIDES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
