California has had an incredible winter so far and the recent snowfall only added to it. The storm that is currently hitting the state through the night has very high snow levels. This will result in large amounts of high elevation rain.
2-4″ of rain total through tonight.
California has HUGE precipitation totals forecasted over the next 7 days, but relatively low snowfall totals. Sadly, this is the result of a warm front pushing through along with this storm, raising snow levels.
