City officials say conditions can change quickly, particularly in low-lying areas near the Tuolumne River and along Dry Creek, where runoff can back up during periods of heavy river releases.
City crews are monitoring flood-prone neighborhoods while focusing on preventative measures, including clearing leaves from streets and storm drains ahead of additional rainfall.
For homeowners who live near Dry Creek, flooding is not a distant concern.
"If something changes, that would be difficult," Proescher said. "But it's usually a really slow progression. Once it gets that high, you can see it."
"That's why you have flood insurance," he said.
City officials say residents can prepare now by picking up free sandbags, available in the courtyard behind Modesto City Hall.
Officials urge residents in flood-prone areas to stay alert and avoid driving through flooded roadways as rain is expected later this week.
