The Bay Area is in for another atmospheric river storm this week, and forecasters expect the North Bay to receive the bulk of the wet weather. … While the rain will mostly be beneficial, localized nuisance flooding is possible. Minor coastal flooding could also occur Tuesday through Saturday due to spring tides. … The warm storm will push snow levels in the Sierra Nevada to above 7,500 feet, resulting in the bulk of the snowfall at higher elevations. Lassen National Park and the highest peaks of the Sierra could see some snowfall, and snow levels could dip below 7,000 feet on Wednesday night if temperatures fall.
