"Flood Worries In Northern California After Deadly Storm Hits South"

"Large parts of Northern California were placed on a flood advisory on Sunday ahead of a storm system expected to bring heavy rain, wind and snow to the state, still cleaning up from a deadly storm that deluged Southern California two days ago.

The storm is expected to drop as much as 5 inches (13 cm) of rain in the San Francisco region through Wednesday, bringing more water to already saturated land that has been inundated with heavy precipitation since early January, the National Weather Service said.

'We could see flooding in areas that haven't flooded in a long time and there will be additional stress on levees, rivers, creeks & streams,' the service said."
