California will be hit by another atmospheric river storm this week. But this one will be warm instead of cold, raising concerns about potential flooding and snowmelt. Here's what you need to know:
counties have issued evacuation warnings for residents in their areas, warning of potentially serious flooding from the incoming storm. Fresno County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Tony Botti said officials were particularly concerned about flooding around Pine Flat, as well as Millerton Lake, which feeds into the San Joaquin River and flows west toward Mendota, Tranquility and other communities.
“If you flooded in January, you are likely to flood again,” the county said Thursday on Twitter. “Please be prepared to leave if necessary. This is a warning not an order, but leave now if you feel unsafe.” He said the forecast was calling for the Pajaro River to crest around 30 feet, which is just below flood stage, but “once we get over toward that number, even underneath that number, we’ll start to get concerned about the levees because they’re old and earthen.”‘A potentially significant and very likely warm atmospheric river event’ is set to hit California later this week, forecasters say.
