SACRAMENTO COUNTY (KRON) — The already soggy Central Valley is preparing for the next powerful storm.
A flash flood warning was put into effect for parts of the Sacramento Thursday by The National Weather Service.
Large portions of farm land are underwater and officials are encourage residents to evacuate as more wet weather is expected to come.
Stretches of Interstate 5 have also been swamped in recent days because of the rising river.
