Long-range trends suggest more rain and storms next week, which may trigger small mudslides. Reservoirs, rivers and streams may begin to reach capacity as soils become saturated, the weather service said.
Next week's rains, which are expected to come from weak to moderate weather systems, are expected to be more robust the farther south you go.
