The National Weather Service warned of a new storm that will bring heavy rain and massive amounts of snowfall to an area in desperate need of precipitation.
“Meanwhile, upper-level troughing moves onshore over the West Coast from Saturday evening into Monday. Rain and higher-elevation snow will develop over the Pacific Northwest off and on from Saturday through late Sunday night,” the NWS said.
“The rain and snow become steadier over the Northwest on Monday afternoon. Furthermore, rain will develop over parts of California overnight Saturday, with higher-elevation snow starting on Sunday morning. Similarly, rain and higher-elevation snow will become steadier on Monday. Heavy snowfall accumulations will develop over the Sierra Nevada Mountains Sunday night into Monday.”
Those in the path of the storm are encouraged to winterize outdoor faucets, apply these solutions for insulating windows, prepare for roof snow removal and apply salt to driveways and walkways in a manner that’s safe for children and pets.
