The second peak of an ongoing atmospheric river storm arrived in Northern California Monday afternoon, prompting flood watches and a winter storm warning up in the Sierra.

While the wet weather may bring an end to a devastating run of wildfires in the state, it could also cause flooding and other hazards.

A stronger atmospheric river is set to hit Northern California on Monday and then hit Los Angeles County on Tuesday, aiding hopes of a more definitive end to a devastating fire weather season for Southern California.

Clouds and wind rolled through the Central Valley Tuesday as a set of storms set up to bring in much-needed rainfall.

A pair of much-needed winter storms are headed to Southern California this week with the first expected to arrive in Los Angeles County sometime Tuesday. The National Weather Service has been tracking the storms and has dialed in the timing of Tuesday’s storm along with the expected precipitation amounts.
