Storm Coverage

Dozens of atmospheric rivers hit the West Coast this winter, boosting snowpack levels across the state.

After a sunny weekend, another atmospheric river has moved into the Sacramento region. Forecasters say it won’t be a “super wet system,” though they have warned of gusty winds, small stream flooding and more heavy snow accumulation in the Sierra.

This winter has brought towering snow banks, extended power outages, hail and now flooding to the North State. For the town of Greenville, recent storms hampered an already slow rebuilding process.

Flooding remains a major concern as many rivers across the state are forecast to hit the flood stage. A flood watch is in effect for much of Northern California until 10 a.m. Wednesday. A winter storm warning is in effect until 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Who might be susceptible to flooding, what to do if you’re snowed inside your car or vehicle and more.

Officials say Butte County has been relatively lucky during recent winter storms, but a recent local emergency declaration could help the county qualify for federal aid. Also, a new report from the state Legislative Analyst’s Office suggests that California could make its parole hearing process more equitable, and a new law allows Californians to have records of most criminal convictions sealed if certain conditions are met.

President Biden approved an emergency declaration as parts of California issue evacuation orders and close school districts after intense downpours.

As a bomb cyclone hits California this week and dumps massive amounts of water on the state, some people are asking: why can't we save the water for times when we desperately need it?

The National Weather Service is predicting high winds of around 50 miles per hour, which have the potential to cause widespread power outages that last for several days.

As a “bomb cyclone” descends on Northern California today, storms have already tested a region highly vulnerable to flooding. One report says the Central Valley needs $30 billion in improvements over 30 years.
