"Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. Excessive runoff will result in rises along area rivers, creeks, streams. Small streams and creeks may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in low-lying, poor drainage, and urban areas. Mudslides and rockslides may occur in mountain and foothill areas, the NWS said. 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."
"Breaking down weather alerts: advisories, watches, and warnings Flash flood warning: Take action! A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring. If you are in a flood-prone area, move immediately to high ground. A flash flood is a sudden violent flood that can take from minutes to hours to develop. It is even possible to experience a flash flood in areas not immediately receiving rain."
The National Weather Service Sacramento CA issued a flood watch for the Delta at 1:30 p.m. Monday, in effect until Friday, Dec. 26 at 4 p.m. Excessive rainfall and runoff may raise rivers, creeks, and streams, with small streams potentially overtopping their banks. Low-lying, poor-drainage, and urban areas face flooding risk, and mountain and foothill areas face mudslide and rockslide risk. Residents should monitor forecasts, be alert for Flood Warnings, and be prepared to take action if flooding develops. Sandbag use instructions and county pickup locations are provided, along with definitions and actions for flood and flash flood warnings.
