Northern California is preparing for more rain as a series of atmospheric river storms approach, following up to six inches of rain that fell over the weekend. This weather system poses risks of flooding and mudslides, particularly in lower elevations, while heavy snow is expected in the mountains. Flood watches are in effect for 13 million people across Northern California, including the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento Valley. Southern California, meanwhile, could see increased mudslide risks due to earlier wildfires and an exceptionally dry winter.
This weekend's storms brought nearly six inches of rain to parts of Northern California, prompting flood watches for roughly 13 million individuals in the region.
The atmospheric rivers, which stretch 2,500 miles from Hawaii to California, are bringing significant moisture and pose threats of flooding and mudslides across various elevations.
