Active AlertsSusanville, CA

Moderate to heavy rain with a rain/snow elevation of 6,500 feet and higher Wednesday evening will lead to significant rises of rivers, creeks and streams with the potential for minor flooding.
What: Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
Where: A portion of northeast California, including the following area, Lassen-Eastern Plumas-Eastern Sierra Counties.
When: From this evening through Wednesday evening.
Impacts: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding is most likely in urban, low lying, and poor drainage areas. Rockfall is also possible in areas of steep terrain. Minor flooding is possible for the Susan River on Christmas Eve, but greater than expected rainfall and/or delayed transition to snowfall could easily push the Susan River higher. No other main-stem rivers are forecast to flood, but very slow rises and high flows are expected on the Pit River near Canby, and Middle Fork of the Feather near Portola.
Additional Details: - Enhanced runoff and sediment transport are likely below recent burn areas, but debris flows are not expected. - For river forecast updates: https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov For flood safety information: http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
