The Flash Flood Watch continues for * Portions of northeast California and Nevada. * Until 10 PM PDT this evening * An upper low and abundant moisture will provide a threat for flash flooding through this evening. * The highest potential for flash flooding will exist mainly north of Interstate 80 with lesser chances to the south where drier air can be seen filtering into the region. Strong outflow winds and small hail are more of the threat for these southern areas. * Steep terrain, recently burned areas from wildfires, and areas which have already received heavy rainfall since last weekend will be especially at risk for flash flooding and debris flows. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... People in the watch area should continue to be aware of the possibility for heavy rainfall, avoid low lying areas, and be careful when approaching highway dips and underpasses. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where water covers the road. The road may be washed out or the water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. && $$
