Experts are watching computer models closely, nervous about growing flood risk after massive snowpack this winter.
California snow video: Balcony jumping, bridge shoveling, turkey spottingAn atmospheric river storm is likely to hit Northern California late Thursday into Friday, meteorologists and climate scientists said Monday, bringing high chances of heavy rain in the Bay Area, 1 to 3 feet of new snow at higher elevations in the Sierra, and an increased risk of flooding as the warm rain hits the state’s massive snowpack.
“There’s a lot of uncertainty at this point regarding how intense it will be, how prolonged it will be, and the impacts it will likely have,” Swain said, “as well as whether it will be followed by additional warm storms or not. All of that is up in the air. However, confidence has grown that a warm rain event of some magnitude will occur later this week.”
But computer models are also showing that two or three more atmospheric river storms could be lining up over the next 10 days, Ralph said. That wasn’t the case in 2017 when Oroville got filled to the top and its spillway failed, forcing the evacuation of more than 180,000 nearby residents.
