Atmospheric river storms take aim at West Coast again
The West Coast is in for a wild weather ride over the next week as a series of atmospheric rivers take aim through the first week of February, coming as clean-up from this week’s atmospheric river flooding in San Diego continues. The superhighway for atmospheric rivers (ARs) is open with at least three storms pegged for the West Coast over the next several days. But everyone from Seattle to Los Angeles to Phoenix is nervously eyeing the third soaker – still a half-week out – and the Climate Prediction Center’s warning of risks for flooding, heavy rain, heavy mountain snow and high winds.
