The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for the North State of California this weekend due to rain accumulations of up to 4 inches.

The weather agency cautioned citizens to be aware of ponding on roads, swelling creeks and streams, and localized floods.

From Friday afternoon until Sunday morning, the valley is forecast to receive 2 to 4 inches of rain, according to the weather service. Higher elevations may have up to 9 inches of rain, compared to 3 to 7 inches in the nearby foothills.

Shasta County’s snow level will stay above 7,500 feet but will decrease as low as 5,000 feet by Saturday night.

With 1.5 inches of rain predicted for this weekend in the Yreka area and 2 to 3 inches in the Mount Shasta area, Siskiyou County has issued a small stream advisory.

According to Dan Weygand, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Medford, Oregon, the snow level in Siskiyou County would increase to about 8,500 feet on Friday and then decrease to around 5,000 feet by Saturday.

Most of the “intense” rain, according to him, will fall in Shasta County and the south. Weygand stated that there is considerable worry regarding debris flows in the McKinney Fire burn scar along Highway 96, west of Yreka.

“We’ll definitely be monitoring that, as you can imagine,” Weygand said.
