CALIFORNIA, USA — Monday has all the ingredients to be an impactful, severe weather day. A powerful Pacific storm will bring an increased risk of multiple weather hazards.
Heavy rain will become more showery Monday morning. Skies will partially clear helping to further destabilize the already unstable atmosphere.
Following the main band of precipitation through Monday morning, scattered showers will continue through Wednesday thanks to the low pressure parked off the coast.
A Flood Watch went into effect across the valley on Sunday afternoon and continues until Wednesday morning.
People should also be aware of possible roadway flooding and the potential for mudslides or rock slides in the foothills, according to NWS.
Officials are expecting heavy snow and snow accumulations of one to two feet above 5,500 feet, with three to four feet possible at the highest peaks. Chain controls and road closures are possible through Wednesday.
