California is bracing for a double onslaught of Pacific storms, fueled by atmospheric rivers, that are set to bring heavy rainfall and raise the risk of widespread flooding.
The initial storm hit the West Coast, stretching from Oregon to Northern California and the San Francisco Bay area, with showers and gusty winds.
Termed "Pineapple Express," these storms originate from warm, subtropical waters near Hawaii.
The first storm, expected to intensify in the Bay area, will bring 2 to 5 inches of rain in San Francisco, with snow forecast in nearby mountains, prompting flood watches and high-wind warnings.
