CALIFORNIA, USA — Another atmospheric river is on the way to California and is set to arrive late Monday night. Significant rain and high snow levels are once again expected.
A High Wind Watch is in place for the valley and foothills from Monday evening through Tuesday evening.
Be aware of changing river and stream conditions. Heavy rain and high snow levels Monday and Tuesday mean rivers will once again rise, in some cases higher than with the previous storm.
A Flood Watch is in effect for just about all of Northern California, from the coast to the Sierra, until Wednesday morning.
About 1.5 to 3 inches of rain in the valley is expected by Wednesday evening, while Sierra foothill locations and elevations below about 6000-6500 feet are likely to pick up 3 to 7 inches of rainfall.
Road conditions continue to change in the Sierra as crews work to keep the roads clear.
