In the storm-ravaged state of California, the newest bout of rain and snow showers increased the possibility of flooding, landslides, and whiteout conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, bands of
thunderstorms with strong winds began to develop in Northern California on Saturday and travelled south as another atmospheric river entered the state on Sunday. Heavy mountain snow and blowing snow continue to make the trip from California to Colorado hazardous, according to the weather service.
Flooding and landslides are predicted to be dangers from waves of heavy rains.
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, declared “We’re not done” on Saturday when touring Merced County in the Central Valley’s farming region.
The final of the nine atmospheric rivers was anticipated to pass through, so Governor Newsom asked Californians to remain vigilant for a few more days. At least 19 people have already perished as a result of the inclement weather, and a 5-year-old boy who was washed out of his mother’s car by floodwaters in San Luis Obispo County is unaccounted for as of Sunday.
When will the storm-ravaged state of California receive aid?
As some dry weather is expected to return to the soggy state on Tuesday, a change in the weather pattern will begin.
As a region of high pressure moves into California on Tuesday, dry conditions are anticipated to resume, according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham.
According to AccuWeather, areas like Sacramento and Fresno will have at least 24 to 36 hours of dry weather before being struck with another wave of rainy weather because the frequency of storms is slowing down.
According to AccuWeather, there will be a drying trend in southern California, but it will last longer. Cities like Los Angeles and San Diego may experience dry weather through the end of January after Monday night’s rain storms.
According to Buckingham, another storm is expected for the middle of the week for the rest of the state and the Pacific Northwest, although it won’t be as powerful as the last wave of storms.
