Pacific Storm Forecast: Increasing Risk of Additional Rainfall Likely in California

The National Weather Service's (NWS) latest advisory showed that a Pacific Storm system could unleash additional rainfall in parts of California, Intermountain West and the West Coast. Motorists with travel plans should stay alert for flooding concerns and slower commutes.

In January and early February, California experienced challenging weather conditions, from heavy rain, flooding, flash floods and hazardous travel. In the Pacific Northwest, the region is no stranger to challenging weather commutes and flooding concerns.

In addition, NWS San Diego reported that sunny and warm conditions could unfold over the weekend and early next week. On the West Coast, residents will likely struggle against storm systems.

In this week's weather in the Pacific Northwest, Americans should stay alert for weather advisories and slower commutes. Low-lying or flood-prone areas are vulnerable to severe to small flooding this week.
