| First Heavy Rain Storm of the Season for Sacramento Valley and adjacent |
| 2023-12-18 |
[WeatherDotCom] NBM probabilities of exceeding 1" of precipitation are in the 90 to 100% range, with probabilities of exceeding 3" of precipitation in the 35 to 60% range in the Sacramento Valley and 75 to 95% range over the mountains. WPC projects precipitation amounts ranging from 1.5" to 3" in the Valley, with 2.5" to 4.5"+ inches over the foothills and mountains late today into Wednesday.  This could lead to slick travel conditions, ponding of water on area roadways, and minor nuisance flooding of poor drainage areas. As this is a relatively warm system, snow levels look to remain around 7000 to 8500 feet Monday-Tuesday... --------- Reservoir levels are well above normal in California today as they haven't been drawn down completely from last winter's massive snowpack. However, this year's snowpack accumulation is off to a very slow start. |

| #2 If you live downriver from a major city, you ARE drinking recycled water. Demand the best filtering and live with it |

| #1 Reservoirs are near full, yet they're still gonna make us drink toilet water. And yes, it's been raining pretty hard today. |
