Another atmospheric river is preparing to take aim at the Bay Area and Central California, bringing “impactful rain,” flash flooding and potentially even a light dusting of snow to this week’s forecast as temperatures plummet.

An atmospheric river brought additional rain, strong winds, and flooding to the Bay Area Tuesday, with an increasing chance of thunderstorms later in the afternoon.

Heavy rain is hitting the Bay Area and coastal areas this week as an atmospheric river moves through Northern California.

Days after an atmospheric river brought record-setting rainfall to California, the state is in the crosshairs of another rainy storm system.
