UPDATE: Residents in some California areas have been warned to evacuate as heavy winter storms bear down on the region.
Residents in some California areas were warned to evacuate as heavy winter storms bear down on the region Monday from a weather system that forecasters warned could bring a"parade of cyclones."
Two"major episodes" of heavy rain and mountain snow were expected in rapid succession, with multiple cyclones barreling toward the state, the National Weather Service warned. Heavy rains Monday could result in rainfall totals as high as 3 to 5 inches near the coast, the weather service said. A second episode is expected to swiftly follow Tuesday, resulting in slightly less heavy amounts, but impacting areas further south into Southern California, it said.
California Highway Patrol in Santa Cruz warned of multiple road closures Monday, including a landslide that has blocked Highway 17 south of Glenwood Drive.
