ESFEKA

An atmospheric river arrives Thursday night and persists through
Friday. A prolonged period of heavy rainfall is forecast with rates
of 0.3 to 0.5 inches per hour. Rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches are
forecast. All main stem rivers are forecast to remain below Action or
Monitor stages, however rivers in narrow basins will likely once
again quickly rise. Creeks and streams will also quickly rise and
could result in nuisance flooding. Ponding on roadways is also likely
throughout the duration of heavy rainfall.

The exact scenario for flooding for flooding remains uncertain, and
this product will be updated as necessary. Watches and warnings may
be issued by the National Weather Service if the situation worsens.
