Major storm could drench California — or miss much of the state. Here are the odds
… Despite the uncertainty, there is growing confidence that a storm will impact much of California by Thursday, potentially the rainiest of any storm so far this season. … One potential outcome of the complex weather pattern is a prolonged period of wet weather, not only in Northern California, but across the entire state. … The [National] weather service highlights two areas of California for the greatest chances of heavy precipitation: the Sierra Nevada and the Southern California coastline.
