National Weather Service issues flood advisory for areas including Lake County

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The National Weather Service in Sacramento has issued an urban and small stream flood advisory for minor flooding of poor drainage areas until 11:45 p.m. Wednesday.

Affected areas include western Colusa County, northwestern Butte County, Glenn County, northern Lake County, western Shasta County and Tehama County.

Moderate rain showers with pockets of heavy showers are expected to continue over the northern and western Sacramento Valley, resulting in reports of street flooding in many urban areas.

Rain is expected to continue through the day, heavy at times, which will continue the urban flooding. Rainfall amounts up to 1.5 inches will be possible over the next several hours.

The National Weather Service reminds motorists not to drive vehicles into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground.

Additionally, residents can protect their homes and property from flooding by using sandbags, which are available for purchase at the following Lake County locations.
