By far the most impact will be Northern California with a very large area of ‘extreme’ on our map, mapping from Sacramento/Chico through Crescent City for over 5+ inches of rainfall in a short period of time.  San Francisco will see 2-4″ of rainfall in a short period of time.

Some areas in the Willamette Valley will see 1-2″ of rainfall, nearly out Flood Watch criteria due to the moisture ringing out in the coastal range to the west of the area with 3-4+” of rainfall in those areas along the OR/WA Coast.

Seattle is up through 3-4″ of rainfall along the Puget Sound Convergence Zone.  We decided to put Fresno in the flooding zone with 1-2″ of rainfall expected on the southern end of the storm …

Heading to the Sierras?  We don’t have that zone but if you are an extra 2-3 feet of snow will fall at Mammoth Resort, according to our grids!

Thunderstorms are possible with this event, especially west of the Cascades and Sierras.  Those will be addressed 12-24 hours before they hit in other statements if need be.  Some of them may be severe!
