California braced for more stormy weather with rain sweeping into the northern part the state and the San Francisco Bay area, preceding a series of powerful incoming Pacific storms and raising the potential for road flooding, rising rivers and mudslides on soils already saturated after days of rain.
The National Weather Service warned of a “relentless parade of atmospheric rivers” over the coming week, producing heavy rain and mountain snow. Atmospheric river storms are long plumes of moisture stretching out into the Pacific and are capable of dropping staggering amounts of rain and snow.
The agency's Sacramento office tweeted early Sunday that parts of the Sacramento Valley were experiencing “strong winds with gusts up to 60 mph,” as well as “numerous trees and power lines down with power outages.”
More than 300,000 customers had their electricity knocked out in and around the state's capital, according to a Sacramento Municipal Utility District online map of outages overnight.
The wet weather comes after days of rain in California from Pacific storms. A series of recent weather systems have knocked out power to thousands, flooded streets, battered the coastline and caused at least six deaths.
The first of the heavier storms was due to arrive Monday, and the weather service issued a flood watch for a large swath of Northern and Central California with 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) of rain expected through Wednesday in the Sacramento-area foothills.

Since December 26, San Francisco received more than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain, while Mammoth Mountain, a popular ski area in the Eastern Sierra, received nearly 10 feet (3 meters) of snow, the National Weather Service reported.

What? Solar panels don’t work in the rain?
Do any CA FReepers know approximately where the 300K are without power?
Thanks.
Never mind, Sacramento Valley.
More coffee….
Good, they deserve everything that they get.
Correct title...... “All California Citizens left without power”
Pretty sure it is north of SF, Russian river area was hit hard. Hope the next storm on Monday takes a hard turn south towards Nanzi’s properties then on to L.A. I don’t want people to be hurt but that area needs a good flushing.

Gee. That’s too bad.
Wind gusts over Sierra ridge lines is supposed to top 100 mph with some of these systems so why no wind panels? It used to be hard to believe that so many were buying into the climmunists lies. Telling the lie repeatedly still seems to work though. 😵💫🐂💩
Thanks.
They are all over the place. I figure tons of linemen from other states doing a lot of OT restoration work…
Climate change is going to other way colder wetter , Ha Ha it fooled ya
For some reason, Gavin isn’t being destroyed over this like they tried to do with the governor of Texas.. Funny how that works. I hate the media!
If there were millions and millions of windmills...they’d all fall down.
Their mudslide season has started early ?
Pity the fools driving EVs in California
Not too bad in the Bay Area.
The bird killers lock down above 55 mph.
“...300,000 left without power...”
The expression ‘Reap what you sow’ comes to mind...(among others which are NOT allowed here.) 😁
