The atmospheric river brought heavy snow to California and an early-season avalanche warning for Mount Shasta.
A powerful atmospheric river dumping feet of snow and heavy rain over the Pacific Northwest has sparked the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center to issue an avalanche warning for part of Northern California.A bomb cyclone churning over the Pacific ushered in atmospheric river conditions and winds equivalent to a hurricane when it hit the Pacific Northwest earlier this week.
Prolonged periods of heavy snowfall, along with rain-on-snow will create high avalanche danger,' the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center said in the warning, which was broadcast by the NWS office in Medford, Oregon.The warning is in place for the avalanche terrain of Mount Shasta, Castle Lake, the Eddy Mountains and the Ash Creek Butte area east of the mountain.The warning will remain in effect until noon local time on Thursday.
