Thread on the #AtmosphericRiver event slamming #California – some key changes are taking place with the system.
For starters, Los Angeles downtown has another 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain coming, leading to widespread 8 inch totals.
The city averages 2.99" of rain during February.
That will cause precipitation to expand westward again toward Santa Barbara and potentially increase in intensity too. Another 12-18 hours of rain in Los Angeles before the atmospheric river finally scoots east.
It also brings heavy mountain snows in Nevada.
A NEW low is developing offshore of southern California, and will move overhead before shifting into the Great Basin of Nevada.
That's problematic for beleaguered Los Angeles and San Diego.
