From the weather channel:
Inundating rain from a powerhouse winter storm has triggered major flooding over parts of Northern California and Nevada. From 4-9 inches of rain in just 24 hours has sent the Napa River to a record level in St. Helena, eclipsing the previous record crest from 1986 by a whopping 3 feet. The crest will work downstream, and, unfortunately, flood parts of the valley, including Napa County's many vineyards. Numerous rivers and streams, including the Russian River, were also reported out of their banks in Sonoma County. Several stretches of the 101 freeway in Marin County (north of San Francisco) were flooded out, and some stretches of I-80, 680, and 880 were under water in the Bay Area. A rockslide shutdown I-80 near the Nevada/California state line earlier Saturday. Flooding also became a major concern along the Truckee River, where the river was expected to crest from 2-3 feet above flood stage in downtown Reno, Nev. This would lead to significant flooding of parts of the city, including the Reno-Tahoe Airport, the most significant flood since 1997. Flood watches are also posted for the burn areas of Southern California for not only Saturday's system, but a potentially stronger, wetter system poised to slide in Sunday night & Monday. Rain will increase from the first system (Saturday) through the evening, letting up by daybreak on New Year's Day. If that's not enough, strong winds and high mountain snow will be the rule for most from the Sierra to the Wasatch, Tetons, and Rockies of Colorado. Snow should pile up to the tune of another 1-2 feet in the Tetons & Wasatch. However, strong winds developing later Saturday could gust in excess of 100 mph over the Sierra crest, and in the neighborhood of 60 mph in the Wasatch. |
