Northern California is bracing for yet another powerful storm that’s expected to drench the already-battered region with heavy rain and strong winds on Wednesday, prompting concerns of flooding, landslides and power outages.
A moisture-rich atmospheric river — fed by a plume of subtropical water vapor at the lower and middle levels of the atmosphere — is expected to bring wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour and more than 6 inches of rain in some parts of the Bay Area.
Rain had already begun falling across the region Wednesday morning, but forecasters say the brunt of the storm will likely hit in the afternoon with rain lasting through Thursday.The weather service is warning of rapid rises in area creeks, streams and rivers across the region, as well as gusty winds that will likely bring trees and branches down, causing “localized damming of water ways.
Three vehicles are submerged on Dillard Road west of Highway 99 in south Sacramento County in Wilton on Jan. 1after heavy rains on New Year’s Eve produced levee breaks. The series of atmospheric rivers that started toward the end of December came as something of a shock after one of California’s driest years on record, which left reservoirs drained and soils dry as a bone.
