NEW YORK — After significant rainfall last week, the West Coast is bracing for another major storm that is expected to bring the threat of flooding rain, damaging winds and mudslides.
A"potent atmospheric river" will start impacting Northern California on Wednesday, before moving to the central and southern coast into Thursday, the National Weather Service said.
"As a result look for rapid rises in area creeks, streams, and rivers. Bankfull exceedance is possible," the National Weather Service said. "The governor was clear in his directive -- to take every available action to keep Californians safe during this storm," Nancy Ward, director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, said during a news briefing Wednesday."We anticipate that this may be one of the most challenging and impactful series of storms to touch down in California in the last five years.
The excessive rain comes days after San Francisco reported its second-rainiest day ever, when over 5 inches of rain fell on New Year's Eve.
