The National Weather Service said Sunday that a flood watch is in effect for most of Northern California through Wednesday morning.
Forecasters said to expect periods of moderate to heavy rain, as well as brief heavy showers from thunderstorms, beginning later Sunday afternoon and continuing through Tuesday.
The NWS said valley and Delta areas can expect 1.5 to 3 inches of rain and foothill areas 2.5 to 5 inches of rain.
Coastal and low-lying areas should expect nuisance flooding and residents living near rivers, creeks and streams should be aware of rising water levels.
There will also be a possibility of rock and mudslides in foothill areas.
The NWS says people should never drive across flooded roads and have an evacuation plan and an emergency kit.
Coming back from the Golden Skate in San Ramon tonight around 645pm back to Concord, it was pouring. This is my 2nd time ever driving in such heavy rain. 680 is also so dark at night, which probably made things worse. Anyways, stay safe people.
just waiting for the water district to increase fees due to an overabundance of water
omg – don’t give them any ideas 🙂 I’m sure they’ll think of some reason to raise rates again 🙁
I emailed our Water District to see if it was possible to keep my sprinklers on when we go away on vacation next week. Still waiting for a reply. I guess when you work from home in your pajamas you take your time responding so as to make it look like you are busy when your boss asks about your day.
They are quick to raise the rates when there is low rain, but do you think they will drop the rates for over abundance of rain? Never
I’d rather have rain and wind than a blizzard and freezing temperatures.
@Chris Why would you need to run sprinklers at this time of year with the amount of rain we’ve been getting?
At the moment the geoengineers have programmed more wind to blow trees over so we can all be more miserable. 😡
