[WUNDERGROUND] The forecast at this point is for over 10" of rain in the period. That's a lot of rain but the reservoirs and larger rivers can probably handle it. There will likely be flooding issues in some of the urban areas and smaller streams however.
A lot of warm air is entrained in the storm system. So for the next five days or so none of the Sierra passes is likely to close. As time goes on, the system will gradually get colder and by Christmas or so, heavy snow may interfere with travel on the Sierra passes.
