California's Record Snowpack Poses Massive Flood Risks
TL;DR Summary
After heavy rain and snow, California is now facing flood risks due to melting snow. The Tulare Lake Basin and other areas of the Central Valley are of particular concern, as they have already seen storm flooding this year and remain in the path of snow runoff and releases from nearby dams. Major waterways such as the San Joaquin River and tributaries will also see treacherous conditions. The biggest threat will likely not arrive until temperatures reach the 90s for an extended period of time.
