Next Round of West Coast Storms to Touch Down Midweek



PACIFIC COAST - Wet weather and blustery winds resulted in disruptive rain, snow, travel delays, and widespread power outages in the Golden State this weekend. And despite a day’s respite, more rough weather is coming to California and its neighbors this week.

According to an Accuweather report, a new round of rain, snow, and gusts is expected to touch down in Northern California and the Pacific Northwest this Tuesday and continue into Wednesday—dampening Northern California, Oregon, and Washington and bringing snow and icy conditions as far inland as Idaho and western Montana.

AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski noted the risk of flash flooding and mudslides given both the recent burn areas throughout Northern California, and the saturation of groundwater from this weekend’s weather.

Alex Sosnowski, Senior Meteorologist, AccuWeather“People should heed all evacuation orders for their area, if given, as there may only be minutes to move to safety,” said Sosnowski, who also noted that, further inland, travel could be complicated by the onset of snow and freezing rain. “Any rain at the storm's onset should quickly change to snow and treacherous travel at Donner Summit.”

By Friday, a third wave of storms is expected to impact California too, bringing soaking rains and the possibility of flooding and mudslides to both Southern and Northern California.
