A strong storm system brought heavy rain and powerful winds to the Bay Area late Tuesday, increasing the risks of mudslides and flash floods that have already prompted evacuations in some parts of Northern California. An atmospheric river barreled into the West Coast, causing flooding, evacuations and dropping snowfall in the Sierra. In some places, including San Benito County and Big Sur, the storm was expected to bring up to 10 inches of rain by Wednesday.
