California Braces for Flood Fury as Atmospheric River Hits
29 Oct
Summary
- California is preparing for flooding due to an atmospheric river.
- Coastal flood warnings are in effect through Friday.
- The storm is expected to impact the US Southwest this weekend.
California is currently bracing for substantial flooding as a potent atmospheric river makes its approach. This weather system is anticipated to deliver a significant impact to the southern parts of the state.
The storm is projected to then traverse northern Mexico before continuing its path into the US Southwest. This movement is expected to occur over the course of this weekend.
Coastal flood warnings and advisories have been issued and remain in effect through Friday. These alerts are a result of northwest winds contributing to tides that are nearly 2 feet higher than normal, increasing the risk of inundation in coastal areas.
