Yet another 'atmospheric river' of dense, moist tropical air will clobber California on Monday with rain and mountain snow - the fifth of the weather phenomenon since Christmas - even as the state was being pummeled by storms this weekend, forecasters said.

REUTERS/Carlos Barria/File PhotoJan 7 - Yet another "atmospheric river" of dense, moist tropical air will clobber California on Monday with rain and mountain snow - the fifth of the weather phenomenon since Christmas - even as the state was being pummeled by storms this weekend, forecasters said.
"It's going to get worse Monday," Roth said, "We're talking 3-to-6 inches of rain, several feet of snow in the mountains ... because the area is so saturated we could see flash floods, mudslides, rockslides and avalanches." In addition to heavy rains, up to 2 feet of snow was expected to fall by the end of Sunday in higher elevations of the Sierras, where accumulations of a foot to 18 inches or more were measuredTens of thousands of homes and businesses have lost power in recent days and more than 34,000 remained without electricity on Saturday afternoon, largely in Mendocino County in northern California, according to tracking site Poweroutages.us.
At least six people have died in the severe weather since New Year's weekend, including a toddler killed by a fallen redwood tree crushing a mobile home in northern California.
