Monday Top of the Scroll: Storm expected to soak much of California early this week
A cold and dynamic storm is forecast to soak much of California early this week as a strong low-pressure system drops south from the Pacific Northwest. It’s the first major Pacific storm of the season and expected to bring widespread rain, heavy Sierra snow and a chance of severe thunderstorms — along with flood risks near recent burn scars in Southern California. From Monday morning into Wednesday, winter storm warnings blanket the Sierra Nevada, where 1 to 3 feet of snow is expected.
