Los Angeles & surrounding areas got pounded by rain & suffered heavy flooding & infrastructure damage and now Northern & Central California will face 2 more days of rain, snow & heavy precipitation. Also, included is the latest Dam footage I could find. God bless everyone, T @newTHOR on twitter http://bit.ly/1FL7e16 article on storm http://wxch.nl/2lPCnh1 Another Round of Flooding, Landslides and Heavy Snow Will Pound California as New Dangerous Storm Taps Atmospheric River A new powerful storm will lash California Sunday night through early Tuesday. Flooding, rockslides, mudslides and strong winds are likely impacts. Flood watches and warnings remain in effect for parts of California. Heavy snow will pile up in the Sierra Nevada. Another potent atmospheric river event is setting up for northern California to begin this week, which is once again raising the risk of dangerous flooding and landslides in this storm-weary region. Several additional feet of snow will also pile up in the higher terrain of the Sierra Nevada. Flood warnings have been issued for all of the Sacramento Valley ahead of this new storm that will affect the region Sunday night-Tuesday including Sacramento, Oroville and Redding. Flooding is likely due to already saturated soils and very swollen rivers and lakes. Flood watches are also posted in parts of central and into much of northern California and western Nevada, including San Francisco and Reno, Nevada, and Lake Tahoe. Storm Timeline Here is a rough timeline of what to expect in the new week ahead. Sunday: Ahead of the next system, light to moderate rain is possible from central California into the Pacific Northwest, with snow in the higher elevations. Sunday night through Tuesday: A prolonged period of heavy rain/mountain snow is expected in northern California, causing flooding and landslides. Periods of rain and mountain snow will also affect the Pacific Northwest. Wednesday: Lighter rain will remain possible with lowering snow levels. Late Week: Drier conditions will overall dominate, but some periods of light rain and mountain snow will remain possible. Impacts Additional Rainfall Through Tuesday: Most low elevations of northern California are likely to see 1 to 4 inches of rainfall. Higher amounts are likely in the foothills around the Bay Area, in coastal ranges, and in the foothills along the Sierra Nevada. The foothills of the northern Sierra may see as much as 10 inches of rain below snow level. Flooding/Debris Flows Flooding is likely on some rivers, creeks, and streams as well as urban and poor drainage areas. Debris flows over wildfire burn-scarred areas can still occur and could be damaging to any homes, structures or roads nearby. Remember, debris flows can occur with relatively low rainfall rates. Mud/rockslides are likely even in areas not recently charred by wildfires. Snow Feet of additional snow will fall in the Sierra through Tuesday. This may, at times, force road closures, including Interstate 80 over Donner Summit. Up to five feet of snow is expected above 7,500 feet in the northern Sierra. Snow levels may rise as high as 7,500-8,000 feet for a time on Monday before falling once again Monday night to 6,000 feet. Strong Winds Gusty winds will accompany the stormy weather in northern California, possibly downing some trees and power lines. Winds over Sierra ridges will gust in excess of 100 mph. Storm Reports Below is a recap of the recent storms to hit the region since late last week. February 16 The first round of this latest Pacific storm parade soaked portions of California on Thursday as a band of moisture moved southward through the Golden State. Up to one-half inch of rain fell in much of the Bay Area. Parts of Marin and Napa Counties had picked up one-half to one inch of rain, while the wettest locations in Sonoma County had already exceeded one inch of rain. As of 4 p.m. PST Thursday, 0.37 inches of rain had fallen at San Francisco International Airport. This first teaser rainfall event also brought rain to southern California. Much of the Santa Lucia Range received 0.20 to 0.40 inches of rain on Thursday. Lower elevations including Santa Barbara, Oxnard and Los Angeles received less than 0.05 inches. February 17-18 A strong atmospheric river event set up in southern California, dumping heavy rainfall on Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Multiple roads were closed in Santa Maria late Friday morning, due to flooding. Several reports of flash flooding, mudslides, urban flooding, and debris flows came in from Southern California. Nearly 9 inches of rain was dropped onto the mountains just north of Santa Barbara, while in downtown Los Angeles rainfall totals came up just short of their daily rainfall record.
