Additional runoff may cause some of these waterways to flood. Elsewhere in California, the rain is not likely to cause flooding as a nearly three-week break in the wet weather has brought streams and rivers in the central and coastal areas of the state to manageable levels. The forecast for Southern California calls for showers and thunderstorms to spread into the area through tomorrow with amounts up to one inch in some areas. The additional precipitation raises concerns for the already critical landslide situation in many parts of the state. Despite the recent lapse in rain, many hillside areas continue to experience slides because the ground has become so saturated.
More rain is likely to make existing slides worst and cause new slides.
