‘Atmospheric River’ Forecast To Hit Northern California This Weekend

With Northern California having just come through a series of storms bringing snow and rain, forecasters are predicting more heavy weather ahead for the weekend. The National Weather Service said an “atmospheric river” will bring more rain and high-elevation snow beginning on Saturday, which rainfall and snowfall expected to be heaviest across the region on Sunday and Monday. Atmospheric rivers are narrow regions on the atmosphere that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
