LOS ANGELES — Storm-weary California will get little in the way of reprieve this weekend, as the latest in a series of powerful winter storms has already trained its eye on the state.
In a bulletin published Saturday, the National Weather Service warned of a "relentless parade of cyclones" barreling out of the Pacific toward California, which was expected to renew the risk of flooding in some parts of the state this weekend. Heavy rain and mountain snow were expected to begin late Friday night in Northern California, spreading to Central California on Saturday.
The weather service's Monterey office issued a flood watch advisory beginning at 4 p.m. Saturday and continuing through Tuesday for areas including San Francisco, Santa Clara, Monterey, Big Sur, the Carmel Valley, San Benito County, Pinnacles National Park, Los Padres National Forest and much of Central California.
