Rivers will gradually lower through Thursday morning. Flood warnings remain in effect for these affected rivers. Do not drive into or enter flooded areas. Turn around, don’t drown

NEVER drive or walk into floodwaters. It is impossible to know how deep the water is just by looking at it. Turn Around Don’t Drown!

Additional snow is expected late Wednesday through Friday as two fronts move into the area. Heaviest snow will be in the mountains, especially the Cascades. Snowfall may be lighter Thursday afternoon and night. Be prepared for winter driving conditions and check tripcheck.com or quickmap.dot.ca.gov for road conditions before you go.

Strong, gusty winds are expected to develop on Wednesday as a front moves inland. Winds will be gusty for most areas. However, strongest winds are expected at the coast, in the mountains and in the Shasta Valley with gusts up to 60 mph and locally up to 70 mph. These winds could make travel difficult for high profile vehicles, blow around unsecured objects, and in some places could bring down a few tree limbs or powerlines.
