Valley Floor Could See Up to 2 Inches of Rain
The NWS says that “additional moisture, or the atmospheric river plume, will into our area from the southwest by Tuesday afternoon to begin producing rain over much of the region, and the heavier precipitation will begin in earnest by Tuesday night.”
The NWS predicts up to 2 inches of rain on the Valley floor, with up to 3 inches in the foothills. Heavy snow is forecasted above 7,000 feet.
“Flooding, mudslides, and debris flows remain a concern, with the greatest threat near the recent burn scars,” warns the NWS.
After this latest system passes through, temperatures will drop and there could be light rains through Saturday. The colder air, however, will drop the snow level to as low as 3,000 feet.
Winter Storm Watch in effect for the southern Sierra Nevada above 7000 feet from Tuesday morning through Thursday morning. More info here: https://t.co/39GWfJ5Jft pic.twitter.com/EgtR7uSexj
