Multiple storms will spin southward along the Pacific Coast of the United States next week. Each storm will bring abundant rain and mountain snow and cause significant impacts on travel and the potential for flooding and mudslides. … On Sunday or [Monday], drenching rain is likely to spin into coastal areas of Northern and Central California. From there, low-elevation rain and mountain snow will expand southward and eastward across California then into the interior West. … “It is possible the series of storms next week in California delivers close to an entire month’s worth of rain and snow,” AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said. … Much of the interior West is in desperate need of storms with ample moisture.
