Stanislaus County – After a short break in the weather, the rainfall is back and will bring potential impacts to Stanislaus County. Turlock Irrigation District continues to make releases to the Tuolumne River to accommodate water inflow to Don Pedro Reservoir in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and Stanislaus County’s Office of Emergency Services.
This current weather system is forecasted to last through Saturday, and will be followed by a short break Sunday. More rainfall is expected to return Monday and last through at least Tuesday. Saturated soils coupled with high wind Friday and Monday could potentially result in toppled trees and power lines.
Residents should be prepared for the potential of additional regionalized flooding events in the coming days. Always avoid flooded roads, remain clear of fast-moving creeks and rivers, and follow all emergency signage.
