The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the Sacramento region ahead of another two storms making their way to Northern California.
The watch — which means flooding is possible but not imminent — is in effect from Sunday afternoon into Wednesday morning for the Sacramento Valley, Motherlode, Delta region, foothills and the Northern San Joaquin Valley. Shasta and Colusa counties are also included.
“Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying and flood-prone locations,” the watch states. “Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris.”
On Wednesday and Thursday, the first of three storms dropped about a tenth of an inch of rain on downtown Sacramento.
The second storm in the series is expected Saturday into Sunday.
The third storm system in this chain will move in Sunday and could last through Wednesday , the weather service forecast states.
