A fall storm that brought rain and snow to Northern California will slide south. What's that mean for weather in LA?
A strong winter storm that hammered Northern California with rain and snow will move south toward the Los Angeles area this weekend.Flooding, rockslides and debris flows are possible as the storm moves slowly through Northern California, Oregon and Washington.
The high pressure system keeping most of the rain to the north will begin to slide east, opening the door for wet"The impacts that we're going to see here in Southern California are not going to be as extreme as what's happening in Northern California," said NBCLA meteorologist Belen De Leon."The reason why we're seeing all these concerns is because you have this really strong storm that's tapped into an atmospheric river.
"There's still some uncertainty with that storm system, but it does look like it could have a heavier amount of rain," said De Leon."That could bring minor flooding."Up to 16 inches of rain was forecast in Northern California and southwestern Oregon through Friday. By Wednesday evening, some areas in Northern California had seen heavy rain, including Santa Rosa, which had seen about 5 inches within 24 hours.
There were reports of about 9,000 power outages Thursday morning in California, down from more than 20,000 on Wednesday night.
