Damaging winds, excessive rainfall and extremely heavy snow are expected to hit California and southern Oregon through today as a series of winter storms rip across the western US coast, prompting the Golden State's governor to declare an emergency
The latest incoming system is expected to deliver another three to six inches of rain to already-saturated California, where the National Weather Service is warning of coastal flash flooding and mudslides in wildfire-scarred terrain.
— NWS San Diego January 5, 2023 Another drenching is expected in northern California by tomorrow night, leading to additional flooding concerns, the federal forecaster added. Bars and restaurants were shuttered in San Francisco as the city girded for yesterday's storm, with local media showing flooded roads, and reports of long delays on public transport.
The waterlogging caused by those previous storms would exacerbate the danger of this one, meteorologist Matt Solum said. While it is difficult to draw a straight line to this storm from human-caused climate change, scientists say a warmer planet brings more unstable weather, with more ferocious storms as well as longer, hotter dry periods.
