New atmospheric river continues weather woes in California
Atmospheric rivers have been pummeling California for much of the winter, and that continues as winter enters its last week. There is an extreme risk of flooding for parts of the Golden State, with the coast and high elevations facing the most significant threat Tuesday. Flood alerts are up for nearly half of California through Wednesday night. All this rain and additional snow are raising concerns about "roofalanches," as well.
