With wave after wave of precipitation in our weather forecast, and rainfall and melt predictions of just under 2.5 inches, forecasters expect the Susan River to enter the monitor stage at 11.6 feet Saturday evening.
“Historically, the Susan River is rapidly reactive to this amount of precipitation and melting with increased snow elevations,” explains Susanville Fire Chief James Moore. “If you live in areas prone to flooding, please be prepared.”
