First of back-to-back atmospheric rivers pushes into California. Officials urge storm preparations

California is preparing for potential flooding, heavy snow, and damaging winds as the first of two back-to-back atmospheric rivers approaches.
The storm, known as a 'Pineapple Express,' will be followed by an even more powerful storm on Sunday.
Last winter, California experienced extensive flooding, big waves, and heavy snowfall from atmospheric rivers, resulting in over 20 deaths.

A look at atmospheric rivers, the long bands of water vapor that form over oceans and fuel storms

Atmospheric rivers are long bands of water vapor that transport moisture from the tropics to northern latitudes.
They can cause storms that produce flooding and mudslides, but they are also vital to water supplies.
