    California Gets Slammed Next Week

    California will be hit hard by an onslaught of major storms next week. This is a big deal, folks. Something we haven't seen the likes of in quite some time.


    Powerful ocean storms are going to play tag with tropical moisture all week long, and quite a bit of that moisture will be pumped into the West Coast. California will probably get the worst of it, but the storms will produce rain all the way to British Columbia.


    Along the California coast and all windward-facing slopes, rainfall totals could easily exceed a half foot by the end of the week. That means serious flooding is likely, and there is a high probability of destructive mudslides.


    Along the coast, storms will produce high winds and pounding waves that can cause significant damage to oceanside properties.


    The Sierra Nevada range will get dumped on big-time with 2 to 4 feet of new snow during the course of the week. The mountains of Southern California will start getting episodes of accumulating snow starting Tuesday.
