Heavy rainfall on top of residual snowpack will lead to increased runoff concerns. 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected across the watch area today. The combination of one to two inches of rain combined with 2 to 5 inches of snow water liquid equivalent from remaining snowpack on the ground will lead to flooding concerns. – Please visit www.weather.gov/safety/flood for flood safety and preparedness information.
