Heavy rains flood Sacramento-area roadways, trigger brief regional flood advisory
Heavy rain pounding the Sacramento area began to swamp local roads and triggered a regional flood advisory Friday afternoon with the California Highway Patrol reporting numerous calls of roadway flooding across the region. The advisory is in place until 5 p.m. The National Weather Service in Sacramento reported urban, roadway, and small stream flooding and forecast in low-lying areas and areas with poor drainage. “Rain will taper off by 5 p.m., but rain impacts may linger through the evening,” National Weather Service forecasters said in a social media post about 2:20 p.m. Forecasters anticipated wet, windy weather into Friday evening with more stormy weather ahead Sunday and into the work week. The National Weather Service announced a winter storm warning for the higher elevations until 10 a.m. Saturday, with up to a foot of snow above 6,000 feet, 18 inches at the highest Sierra peaks, and as much as 2 inches of snow down to 5,000 feet. Flooding was reported in a number of locations in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties in little more than an hour’s time after 1 p.m., during the heaviest of the rainfall, according to CHP traffic logs reviewed by The Sacramento Bee.
