A “relentless parade of cyclones” from the Pacific Ocean is expected to bring additional flooding and heavy snow to parts of the West Coast this weekend after the region was pummeled by heavy precipitation and hurricane-force winds amid intense storms over the past week.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said the main focus of the storms will be on Northern California, where tens of thousands of people already lost power and at least two people were killed on Thursday as a result of a storm.
The NWS said the heavy precipitation hitting Northern California on Saturday morning will strengthen at night from a separate “energetic” system moving toward the coast. The storm will likely lead to a few additional inches of rain through the night in the area, and heavy snow is forecast to hit the high elevations of mountains in the interior part of the state, including the Sierra Nevada, by early Sunday.

California has my sympathies
But here in Utah, Idaho, Montana , Nevada and Colorado we desperately need the water. Multi-year drought. Water is welcome
It’s raining cat’s and dogs right now... rivers are up...
This is from ‘The Hill’ which is a Beltway bullshit source par excellant. Therefore that which in the past would have been seen as the passing nature of weather will be presented as apocalyptic CLIMATE CHANGE, oh YES, OH THE HUMANITY.
See how a warmer world primed California for large fires

Good maybe we can get some action on refilling Powell and Mead.
California has always gone through cycles of drought followed by extreme rain and snow.
Actually it is your comment that is bullshit.
The Hill story is objective meteorology and there is no mention of climate change.
Well, snow has reduced to about 4” deep at our place but more of the rain/snow starting early Monday morning. 🌨❄🌬😱
There is nothing ever that is objective published in the Hill. Bad weather happens. It is the way things are. Screeching is not new as the yellow press loved this sort of shit over a century ago but shir it is. Bad things happen, sing loi.
Hopefully some will spill over to you guys.
“forecast to hit the high elevations of mountains in the interior part of the state, including the Sierra Nevada”
“Including”??
Are there other high elevation mountains in the central interior part of CA that are NOT the Sierra Nevada?
Yes, we started off great in Nov and Dec here in North Idaho, but it dried up about two to three weeks ago.
Worst drought in 10,000 years. It will never end.
If it adds to the snowpack, it is all good.
These storms are big ones and way above average for the area.
They are immensely needed and will hopefully break the multi year drought and shut up the wacko environmentalists for awhile.
The tags at the end of the story are surprising:
BOMB CYCLONE
CYCLONES
FLOODING
GAVIN NEWSOM
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
NWS
STORM DAMAGE
STORM DEATHS
WINTER STORMS
Being The Hill, it IS surprising that the tags don’t include Climate Change, Climate Emergency, Climate Catastrophe, etc.
Tough to get so much so quickly, but isn’t the water a relief for the parched west?
