BERKELEY, Calif. — Already waterlogged from a historic storm on Saturday, Northern California began bracing for a second blast from an atmospheric river that is expected to be unleashed on Wednesday.
From the Bay Area down to the Central Coast, 20-40 m.p.h. winds are expected, with gusts reaching as high as 70 m.p.h., the National Weather Service said in a separate advisory issued Monday.
"To put it simply, this will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while. The impacts will include flooding, roads washing out, hillside collapsing, trees down , widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life. This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously.
"This is really going to help a lot with the short-term drought in Northern California, perhaps even erase short-term drought conditions," U.C.L.A. climate scientist Daniel Swain said in a YouTube forum Tuesday with reporters."But it's going to take a lot more to completely obviate the longer-term, multi-year impacts, and in the broader Colorado River Basin context this isn't really going to do much at all.
