* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– An atmospheric river ahead of a weather system will continue to
bring well above normal moisture to the region through today and
lead to a prolonged period of light to moderate rainfall across
the Watch area. Embedded convection will produce pockets of
heavier rain. Additional rainfall amounts, on the order of 1-2″,
through the course of Sunday on top of already moist soils, will
lead to additional runoff. Runoff in major streams, creeks, and
rivers may persist through the first half of the week.
