  Sacramento Mountains Above 7500 Feet and West Slopes Sacramento

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Moist atmospheric conditions will persist over the region
    with slow moving and training storms producing heavy rainfall
    with a potential for flash flooding along drainages and
    streams. Recent wildfire burn scars will be particularly
    sensitive to lesser rainfall totals with flash flooding and
    debris flows possible.
