Now another wave of storms will hit the region and bring even more rain.
Since the rains were calmed last week, most of the west coast has experienced a brief drying period. But it started to change on February 14, when the First in a series New storms have struck the region, reports Fox Weather. AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
Fortunately, the last rain set remained relatively light and caused any flood along the coast. However, the storm should continue to push east and turn into heavy snow in higher elevation areas, with up to two feet falling into certain parts of Oregon and Washington until today Hui, in fox weather. The California Cascades and Sierra Nevada Ranges could also see one by two feet in some regions before Friday.

The next rain and snow fight should start on the weekend.
Even if the first meteorological system moves with relatively little effect, another storm forms in its wake which could have a much more impactful impact. Meteorologists predict a low pressure system hit the west coast , bringing rain from Friday and early Saturday, according to Accuweather.
"This first storm in the threat of rain in two parts will probably bring the heaviest precipitation to some of the same areas that have been struck in the middle of the week, in particular the northern sequoia coast of California, which can increase the risk of flooding, "said Heather Zehr , a senior accuweather meteorologist.
The initial forecasts show that the San Francisco Bay region could see two inches of rain along the coast, reports Fox Weather. Meanwhile, zones in the north near Fort Bragg could accumulate two to five inches until Sunday.
South California should be spared from torrential rains with this system. But the forecasts show the transition of the storm in the snow because it strikes the chain of Sierra Nevada, potentially throwing one to two feet of fresh powder.
"While we realize throughout the weekend, more problems will appear", "Fox Weather Meteorologist Britta Merwin said in a forecast of February 15. "Snow in the mountains will be epic. Be careful with the weekend trips, then see also after a ski weekend with another storm on the way."
A more serious system could arrive in the region at the end of Sunday and early next week.
Despite a large part of the previous storms of the weekend, some parts of the south of California are probably still violent times. In a message published on X (formerly known as Twitter) by the Los Angeles Bureau of the National Weather Service (NWS), the conditions are should start to deteriorate Before the Monday journey with "important impacts related to storms".

"Stay safe: Avoid low areas and large waves on the coast and prepare for disturbances."
While the data still arrives to refine forecasts, meteorologists warn that this storm could have devastating similarities with the system that dipped Los Angeles last week. Namely, a projection shows that the storm could calm offshore, extending rain and snowfall in the region in the middle of the week, reports Fox Weather.
"We are going to have much more instability," said Merwin. "It is this kind of configuration that I would not be shocked if we were talking about thunderstorms and bad weather in California at the beginning of next week."
