...UNSEASONABLY WARM PATTERN TO BRING MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN...



There is increasing confidence that an atmospheric river will bring 

periods of moderate to heavy rainfall aimed primarily at the 

southern panhandle Monday night and lasting into Wednesday. Total 

rainfall from Monday night through Wednesday morning could range 

from 2 to 5 inches. The heaviest rainfall is expected to occur 

Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon, with a second surge 

Wednesday morning. Snow levels rising up to 5000 to 7000 ft through 

the event combined with saturated ground from rainfall over the 

weekend could lead to enhanced snowmelt and runoff and contribute to 

rapid river/stream rises. Localized ponding of water is likely, 

however no widespread flooding is expected across the area at this 

time.
