A massive low-pressure system swirling over the Pacific has generated dozens of wind advisories and winter storm warnings for California.
However, there is a risk of even more Sierra snowpack and excessive rainfall along the coast, which could lead to localized flooding “given the very wet antecedent conditions,” the National Weather Service said.off the coast of Northern California early Wednesday. The system is expected to move slowly southward throughout the day before tracking inland across Southern California as it weakens early Thursday.
Rain was already falling in the Los Angeles area Wednesday morning and was expected to continue on and off throughout the day, said Mike Wofford, a meteorologist with the weather service in Oxnard. A brief pause in the afternoon will give way to a stronger surge of moisture from the same storm system Wednesday night into Thursday.
“This is kind of a typical cyclone system,” Wofford said. “It’ll be heavier at times, but then it will stop and start again, and there may be some thunder in there. It will be a little bit more active tonight and into tomorrow.”Newsom’s decision to rescind some of the most severe restrictions comes after drenching storms eased extreme drought conditions across the state.
Coastal areas and valleys from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles could get up to an inch of rain, while foothills and mountain areas could see up to 3 inches. Rain rates of up to a quarter-inch per hour are expected, with isolated instances of a half-inch per hour. The storm will also deliver snow, up to 8 inches at elevations above 5,000 feet. The Santa Barbara and Ventura County mountains could get up to 14 inches, with 18 inches possible in the L.A. County mountains.
