California braced Thursday for the arrival of another atmospheric river that forecasters warned will bring heavy rain, strong winds, thunderstorms and the threat of flooding to a state still digging out from earlier storms.
The flood threat will come from the combination of rain and melting of parts of the huge snowpack built in California's mountains by nine atmospheric rivers early in the winter and later storms fueled by a blast of arctic air.
So much snow has fallen in the Sierra and other mountain ranges that residents are still struggling to dig out days after earlier storms. In the San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles a late February storm reached blizzard status. Mountain towns like Lake Arrowhead were buried. On the state's far north coast, Humboldt County authorities have organized an emergency response to feed starving cattle stranded by snow.
