A multiple number of storm systems are lining up in the Pacific, and according to the latest weather models California is forecasted to take the main brunt of these storms! We've already seen copious amounts of rain and snow in the state within the last few days, and the precipitation does not look like it will end any time soon! At this time there are a number of issues to address... along the coastal ranges mudslides are beginning to become a problem, where tremendous rainfall has loosened the ground that many houses are built on. Flood advisories are posted for a good portion of the Central Valley. The higher elevations are getting pounded by snowfall rates in excess of 2 inches per hour, and subsequently winter storm warnings have been issued along the spine of the Sierra Nevada range. Somewhat of a rarity in California, severe storms are also being reported! Storms embedded in heavy rain are causing some extreme wind gusts, with a report of a 75 mph wind on the Golden Gate Bridge! This is turning into a dangerous situation and residents of the state need to monitor the weather closely!
