A series of powerful atmospheric river storms are expected to hit the West Coast, particularly California, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and the potential for widespread flooding. The storms are forecasted to impact areas from southern Oregon to southern California, with flash flooding concerns and flood advisories in place for various counties. Residents are being urged to prepare for severe weather conditions, with sandbag distribution operations and shelters set up in anticipation of the storms. The National Weather Service has issued flood watches and advisories for several counties, with the potential for road flooding, mudslides, and debris flow. The storms are expected to bring torrential downpours, gusty winds, and the possibility of thunderstorms, with the first storm hitting Southern California and the Bay Area, and a second, even wetter storm anticipated to follow on Sunday. State and local officials are coordinating efforts to limit damage and disruption from the storms, with millions of people under flood alerts. The storms are also expected to bring heavy coastal rains and mountain snow, impacting travel and potentially causing power outages.
The first of two storms has drenched SoCal, leading to flooding and road closures across the area. An Ocean Water Quality Rain Advisory was also issued for all county beaches. Stay safe by getting the latest information in our live blog. https://t.co/jytuthazop
