After significant rainfall last week, the West Coast is bracing for another major storm that is expected to bring the threat of flooding rain, damaging winds and mudslides.
January 4, 2023, 3:24 PMTourists take in the rain and fog near the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco, on Dec 31, 2022.
The storm will bring "substantial rainfall to the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast on top of already saturated soils," the National Weather Service said.Excessive rain, with river flooding and flash flooding, is possible. Some rivers, like the Russian River, are expected to rise more than 20 feet in just over 24 hours.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a stateside emergency declaration Wednesday morning to support response and recovery efforts to communities impacted by the winter storm, officials said. Flooding impacts will likely last into the weekend before another potentially impactful storm is anticipated early next week, the state's Office of Emergency Services said.
The heavy rain will move into Los Angeles Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, with flash flooding possible. Ahead of the storm, the city activated its Emergency Operations Center to clear storm drains, distribute sandbags and "ensure residents are prepared," Breed said.
