Though the biggest problem now is brooks and streams the Sacramento River could also flood between Redding and San Francisco

I don't think this is an ArkStorm year (yet). However, brooks and streams are already flooding in places like Siskiyou County. There are places like Dunsmuir down to lake Shasta where I would be especially concerned about the effects of flooding, for example, as the 2 feet of snow surrounding mt. Shasta under 5000 feet all melts from the heavy rains and has to go somewhere quick.

A friend of mine who lives on McCloud side of Mt. Shasta said it was almost impossible to drive into the city of Mt. Shasta today even with a 4 wheel drive truck and could barely do it because the snow wasn't plowed most of the way from where he lives. But, the snow likely will all melt at least below 4000 to 5000 feet and the McCloud River and Sacramento River will all flood Various places as a result.

I just checked to make sure that the McCloud River flows into the Sacramento River and it does through the Pitt River, (even though I don't presently know where the Pitt river is?) so where it goes into the Sacramento river is a mystery to me:
