Landslides of rock and mud closed roadways Friday across California as heavy rains kicked off what will be a series of storms poised to usher in the new year with downpours and potential flooding across much of the state.
A winter storm warning was in effect through 4 a.m. Sunday for much of the Sierra, including the highest elevations around Lake Tahoe where more than a foot of snow was expected near the shores at an elevation of about 6,200 feet and up to 5 feet above 8,000 feet with winds gusting up to 100 mph over ridgetops.
Avalanche warnings were issued in the backcountry around Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes south of Yosemite. At Susanville, California about 85 miles north of Reno, the Susan River was forecast to rise from about 5 feet Friday to a foot above the flood stage of 12 feet by Saturday morning, causing moderate flooding that could affect some homes, roads and bridges, the National Weather Service said.
