The storm is expected to bring steady rain to the northern two-thirds of California for a longer period of time
Into Sunday night, with the storm still lingering just offshore, the steadiest and heaviest rain will likely be found in coastal areas. Residents in cities such as San Francisco, Monterey, and Santa Maria, California, should plan for periods of rain.
Whether or not this system pulls down enough cold air to produce snow through the Sierra Nevada, a few days of much-needed rain are expected in California, something that could be considered as welcome news for many. According to the United States Drought Monitor, nearly 100 percent of the state is experiencing at least severe drought conditions as of September 15.
So far in 2022, more than 6,400 wildfires have burned over 359,000 acres in the state, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
