California is bracing for yet another powerful, atmospheric river storm this week, continuing the onslaught of major weather whiplash after a yearslong, historic megadrought.
Another atmospheric river is walloping storm-ravaged California, inundating cities already flooded by recent rain and forcing residents to flee — or risk not getting help if they need it.
Millions of Californians already hammered by ferocious snowfall were preparing Thursday for a new storm, with torrential rain threatening to cause dangerous flooding and the Weather Prediction Center increasing its excessive rainfall outlook for parts of the state Friday to a level 4 of 4.
Officials in California are imploring residents to prepare for a powerful storm set to lash the region with torrential rain later this week as the state continues to recover from colossal amounts of snow that trapped mountain communities.
