Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAfter a persistent and longer-than-normal cool season, significantly heavy rain occurred onto the large Southern Sierra Nevada snowpack beginning late in the evening of the 15th and continued into the morning of the 16th. With snow levels above 7000 feet, rainfall amounts averaging 1.75" in the mountain areas combined with a snowmelt runoff contribution of about 1" water equivalent caused river flooding on the Yosemite Valley floor in Yosemite National Park. The Merced River rose 3 feet between 0100 and 0500 PST on the morning of the 16th prompting park personnel to evacuate campers in Yosemite Valley. The Merced River on the Yosemite Valley Floor rose above its Flood Stage of 10.0 feet by 0645 PST and subsequently crested at 12.5 feet at 1430 PST on the 16th forcing park personnel to even close roads into the Yosemite Valley.
