Showing Original Post only (View all)ARKstorm fears Northern California Residents as Atmospheric River sets up WHOAH! [View all]
http://www.theweatherspace.com/news/TWS-112712-arkstorm-california-atmospheric-river-coming.htmlTheWeatherSpace.com) - The ARKstorm was what would be predicted as a major rainfall event that would consist of a lot of snowfall in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, followed by a tropical air mass that melts all the snow.
Such a scenario might actually be coming, with the first round hitting on Wednesday, then Thursday into Friday, another on Saturday, and then lasting through Sunday as well. A full five days worth of heavy rainfall in Northern and Central California.
This will bring heavy mountain snow to the higher elevations, but below 8,000 feet it should be all rain. This will melt a lot of the snow that is already up there and cause major flooding in the Central Valley zones.
If you read the article Sacramento is going to get hit with large rainfall and flooding
San Francisco too
Very Ugly weekend Stay safe
