Drive carefully and slowly this week as a storm is expected to pass through starting Wednesday and continuing through the weekend. Rainfall of 0.25 to 0.5 inches is predicted Wednesday evening and on Friday. Rain can bring down loose soils, rocks, and other debris in the Ferguson Fire area. Pay extra caution from Cascade Falls Picnic Area to Sweetwater Creek on Highway 140/El Portal Road and between Grouse Creek and Chinquapin on Wawona Road. During periods of heavy rain, consider avoiding driving until the rain stops. Preemptive road closures may occur if predicted rainfall rates increase.
