"Additional heavy snow, to be measured in feet, is again forecast for the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada," while "considerable flooding impacts are expected below 5000-foot elevation along the central California coast, San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento Valley, and southern Sierra Nevada foothills into Tuesday."
"In addition, heavy rain and snowmelt may lead to renewed flooding from Monday to Tuesday, particularly in low elevations and shallow and warming snowpack areas. Creeks and streams will continue to be vulnerable to flooding from additional rain and snowmelt."
