...RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING CONTINUES EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING FOR ALL WILDFIRE BURN SCARS IN LINCOLN COUNTY THROUGH 
THIS WEEKEND...

The coverage of thunderstorms will be lower for the Sacramento 
Mountains today through the upcoming weekend; however, the risk 
for flash flooding will persist, especially over and downstream 
from recent wildfire burn scars. This risk includes the McBride, 
South Fork, Blue 2 and Salt burn scars. Any storm that develops 
will be capable of moderate to locally heavy rainfall in a short 
period of time and this may result in significant to potentially 
major flash flood impacts.

It is critically important for individuals in these sensitive 
areas to remain weather-aware, have multiple avenues to receive 
NWS warnings, and be prepared to take appropriate action to seek 
higher ground if a warning is issued. Please follow the guidance 
and any evacuation orders from local officials, and do not drive 
through flood waters.

Remember, it only takes one thunderstorm to make it a dangerous 
situation on wildfire burn scars. Continue to monitor forecasts 
for the latest updates.
