California storms: Officials warn of heavy rainfall, strong winds and flooding
California state and federal officials provided an update on Friday regarding the ongoing response to storms that have brought widespread damage to the state, with at least 17 people having died as a result. Officials said there are three to four upcoming storm systems, but they're mostly concerned about the Saturday storm system that could bring "widespread, heavy rainfall in some locations, very heavy mountain snowfall as well, in addition to gusty winds up to 50-60 mph," said David Lawrence from the National Weather Service. – Jan 13, 2023
