Storm System Hitting the West Coast

A storm system has brought heavy rain to northern California over the last 24 hours, over already saturated ground. While the rain isn't as intense as we saw earlier this month in Southern California, with more moisture expected this weekend, the flood threat remains high. That energy is now into the Rockies of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming with snow falling through Thursday night.

Additional snowfall totals through this evening will be on the order of 6-12" for the spine of the Cascades in Oregon and less than 6" for the highest peaks of Idaho and Montana. Rain up to 1" is also possible along the immediate coast.
