Here we go again: A powerful Pacific storm moved into California on Tuesday, promising to deliver strong winds, low temperatures and even more rainfall to the waterlogged state.
The "cold and vigorous storm system" originated in the Gulf of Alaska, the National Weather Service said. It will strike Northern California on Tuesday and make its way south and east through Wednesday, keeping high temperatures in the 50s across much of the state.
The storm will likely result in "more downed trees and power lines and power outages," but is not expected to be as violent as the "bomb cyclone" that struck the state last week, said UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain.
