The National Weather Service said 'atmospheric river events' will continue to batter California through early this week with the most potent system arriving on Monday.
►Evacuation warnings were in place for about 13,000 residents of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, where the Russian River was expected to crash over its banks in the coming days.
►The state Department of Transportation warned motorists to stay off mountain roads after closing a stretch of U.S. 395 in Mono County due to heavy snow, ice and whiteout conditions along the Eastern Sierra.►The storms won’t be enough to officially end California’s ongoing drought but they have helped, Anderson said.
San Francisco was forecast to see 2-4 more inches of rain. In the last two weeks, the downtown area has seen more than 11 inches of rainfall – six times more than normal for that time period. During this stretch, the city recorded its wettest 10-day period in more than 150 years. Heavy rainfall will return to portions of Southern California Monday night and Tuesday, with 1-2 inches of rain in the Los Angeles area and locally higher amounts, AccuWeather said.
