A bomb cyclone is expected to unleash several inches of rain and high winds on an already drenched California, prompting Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency intended to help the state recover from expected impacts.
“California is mobilizing to keep people safe from the impacts of the incoming storm,” Newsom said. “This state of emergency will allow the state to respond quickly as the storm develops and support local officials in their ongoing response.”
Fueled by the merger of a bomb cyclone and an atmospheric river, the storm that is forecast to unleash multiple inches of new rainfall along with high winds began lashing the California coastline late Wednesday morning, hours after it had originally been expected to push on shore.The storm comes on the heels of an historic rainfall event in Northern California on Dec. 31, in which San Francisco received 5.46 inches of rain, just shy of its all-time record.
