The atmospheric river, which this week drenched drought-stricken Northern California with up to 10 inches of rain, will migrate to Central California.

Flooding is predicted over the region, and areas like the Pacific Coast Highway, which runs down the coast of California, are of particular concern because of the hurricane-force winds that will likely produce large waves and high surf.
More often than not, Tate predicted that "they're going to be dealing with a lot of flooding difficulties."
Highways, residences, and commercial buildings were already inundated as a consequence of the torrential rains that overflowed rivers and streams. According to the Sacramento Bee, six individuals have perished as a result of the storm.
During 8 feet of snow may fall at higher elevations over the next three days, such as the Sierra Nevada area.
In the West, Tate said, "we are looking at some very ridiculous snow totals." Given that we have three different systems coming up so quickly after one another, some locations might receive more than 8 feet of snow.
Mudslides, landslides, and rockslides will continue to be a threat in the area, which is especially true in places that have recently seen wildfire damage.
According to Tate, "the earth is already moist, which loosens the soil and weakens it." Therefore, more rain in steep locations "will have a tremendously hard time percolating into the earth and will instead just flow off."
One modest bright spot among the devastation is that the drought-stricken Lake Mead in Nevada might receive some respite from the recent snow and rain that has blasted through the west. Nearly three-quarters of the Colorado River reservoir is empty.
