On the state's doorstep is another atmospheric river expected to drop torrents of rain on ground that's already waterlogged.
Palm trees are silhouetted in the rain and fog in Newport Beach, Calif., on Saturday. By Mike Branom March 5 at 12:27 PM Winter storms keep lashing California with various degrees of impact, and on the doorstep is another atmospheric river primed to drop torrents of rain on waterlogged ground.
The credit for flood prevention goes to the state’s systems of flood control and water retention, some of which were constructed more than a century ago.

There have been so many atmospheric-river-fed storms in Southern California that smaller events are escaping notice — such as the weekend’s spritzing of the region with an inch-plus of rainfall. “It still looks like the area of deepest moisture will stall for a 6-12-hour period somewhere . . . Tuesday night, likely the western portion but not certain yet,” the National Weather Service office serving the Los Angeles area said Monday.
Plus, the storm is expected to pack strong southerly winds that will gust headlong into California’s Transverse Ranges — which run east-west, or perpendicular to the axis of the atmospheric rivers’ flow — meaning orographic effects are in play.
