The National Weather Service warns it will “likely be one of the most impactful systems... in a long while”
Presently, flood watches blanket large parts of Central California and Northern California from the coastline to the Sierra Nevada. San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno, San Jose and Napa are all included.
Winter storm warnings, meanwhile, cover the Sierra Nevada, with snow levels primarily above 5,000 feet. For elevations more than 7,000 feet, 2 to 4 feet of accumulation are expected. Near the cold front, rainfall rates may reach a quarter to a half-inch per hour, with snowfall rates in the Sierra Nevada exceeding two inches per hour. That slug of heaviest precipitation should only last 6 to 8 hours in most locales, and abruptly end from northwest to southeast on Thursday.
