A half-million customers lost power Saturday night, while a more intense system is poised to slam the state Sunday night through Tuesday.

some areas could see amounts that occur only once every five to 10 years on average. A large area of Central and Northern California has a 40 to 70 percent chance of flash flooding within 25 miles of any given location.Winter storm warnings are in effect for the Sierra Nevada, where snow accumulations of 3 to 6 feet are expected Monday into Tuesday above 6,000-foot elevations. Winds of 80 mph are likely too, and gusts of 100 to 130 mph can’t be ruled out on the Sierra ridgeline.

Below 7,000 feet, the precipitation will start as snow and then flip to rain, causing the snowpack to become water-loaded, which will bolster avalanche risk. Amid a lull in precipitation intensity Monday night, temperatures will cool and the elevation at which it’s below freezing will descend as another batch of precipitation arrives into Tuesday morning.“Widespread avalanche activity in the mountains” is expected, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

There is chance that, by the final third of January, the parade of atmospheric rivers may begin shifting slightly farther north and affecting Oregon and Washington, sparing Central California.
