Rain and Snow Coming to the Dry West

A significant shift in the weather pattern is set to bring heavy rain and snow across the western United States.

• Saturday:
  A storm will cross the Pacific Ocean, hitting northern California and parts of Oregon. Expect heavy rainfall in these regions.

• Sunday:
  The storm continues northward, affecting more of California’s coastline. Strong winds and continuous wet weather are anticipated.

• Monday:
  A powerful low‑pressure system arrives near the San Francisco Bay Area, spreading rain across almost all of California and bringing gusty winds.

This much‑needed precipitation offers a welcome relief after recent dry conditions.
Farmers and water managers are closely monitoring the influx to gauge its impact on reservoirs, while snow in the mountains could bolster water storage and provide cooler temperatures.

Key Takeaways

• Prepare for wet weather and potential flooding.
• Roads may be slippery; drivers should stay alert.
