Rain is spreading across water-logged Northern California, raising the risks of floods and mudslides through the weekend, but the most damaging system is set to crash into the Bay Area Monday.
Heavy rain, high winds, and rising rivers are raising the prospects of power outages and more blocked roads as another atmospheric river storm, a long plume of moisture coming in off the Pacific, rolls over California Saturday and Sunday, the National Weather Service said. Another one second starting Monday will likely be worse.
“It is going to be wet for most of today and tomorrow, but Monday is the big day,” said Bob Oravec, a senior branch forecaster at the U.S. Weather Prediction Center. “It will rain for the next few days and they have already got a whole ton of rain.”
