More rain is on the way for California, where flooding has turned communities into lakes. The storm weather has left at least 19 people dead.
A slight risk of excessive rainfall -- level 2 out of 4 -- is in place for areas along the California coast, the Transverse Ranges, and the foothills of the Sierras where up to 3 inches of rain could lead to flooding and mudslides, the National Weather Service said.
President Joe Biden on Saturday approved California's request for a disaster declaration, freeing up federal aid to supplement recovery efforts in areas of the state affected by storms, flooding and mudslides since December 27, the White House said. Lighter rainfall is expected to continue Sunday, before another "ramp-up" late Sunday into early Monday ahead of a second system, the weather service said.
"The challenges will present themselves over the course of the next few days rather acutely, particularly because everything's saturated, particularly because the grounds are overwhelmed." Newsom said. "What may appear less significant in terms of the rainfall may actually be more significant in terms of the impacts on the ground and the flooding and the debris flow."
Monterey County officials warned this week that flooding from the rising Salinas River could turn the area into an island and cut it off from essential services.
