A series of atmospheric river storms is expected to hit the West Coast, particularly California, bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and potential flooding from Tuesday through Thursday. The first storm is forecasted to bring widespread rain totals of 2-5 inches across California, with potential flood issues. The second storm, expected on Sunday and Monday, may have a significant flood risk, especially in Southern California. The storms are also likely to bring heavy mountain snow, strong winds, and high surf. The National Weather Service has issued flood watches, wind advisories, and winter storm warnings for various regions. Residents are advised to prepare for power outages, downed trees, and road closures.
