Widespread flooding is possible across much of California as more heavy rain hits the state
“The longevity and intensity of rain, combined with the cumulative effect of successive heavy rain events dating back to the end of December, will lead to widespread and potentially significant flood impacts,” the Weather Prediction Center said Sunday morning. A “significant” atmospheric river event is expected to impact much of the state early this week, according to the prediction center. Two major bouts of rain will impact the West Coast over the next few days.
Record rainfall sets the stage Over 15 million people are under flood watches across much of California ahead of this atmospheric river event which could bring several more inches of rain to the state through Tuesday. “While some of the forecast rain totals are impressive alone, it is important to note that what really sets this event apart are the antecedent conditions,” the National Weather Service office in San Francisco said.
