Winter Storm Warning

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Sacramento CA

...Another strong storm hits northern California through Tuesday...

.A stronger weather system will move through northern California
through Tuesday. It will bring periods of strong winds and heavy
snow to the higher elevations. A period of higher snow levels
today will limit snow impacts to near passes and higher but snow
levels will fall again by Tuesday morning. If traveling through
the Sierra Cascade range expect chain controls, long delays and
possible closures. Mudslides and rockslides could impact mountain
roads making them impassable for a day or more.

* Interior Northern California will experience another significant
uptick in flooding problems starting late tonight and continuing
through Monday night as an intense Atmospheric River type storm
arrives.

* Our entire region has saturated soils and many flooded areas
already. This will enhance the impact of additional heavy rains
this week.

* Additional stress will be placed on levees, rivers, creeks, and
streams.

* We may see flooding in locations which haven`t been impacted in
many years.

* We are strongly advising all residents in interior Northern
California to be prepared for flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be prepared to evacuate if flooding should affect your area. Gather
a "go bag" with important items like medications and hard to replace
documents. Do not forget to plan for you pets and animals.

Please never drive across flooded waters and roadways, especially
flowing water. Most people who are killed or injured during floods
are attempting to drive through flooded waters. Turn around, don`t
drown!
