California Braces for Intense Weather as Bomb Cyclone and Atmospheric River Collide
TL;DR Summary
California's rainy season has begun with a powerful atmospheric river storm, intensified by a bomb cyclone, bringing heavy rains and strong winds to Northern California and southern Oregon. The storm is expected to cause life-threatening flooding, power outages, and blizzard conditions in the region. While the rainfall may help alleviate fire risks, it also poses significant flooding threats. The storm's impact on the overall rainy season remains uncertain, with predictions of above-average rainfall in the short term, but long-term forecasts are unclear due to a neutral El Niño-Southern Oscillation cycle.
