The Atmospheric River has been blasting northern California a lot the last few days but it sort of stops somewhere between Salinas and San Francisco depending upon the day. So, the worst flooding is north of the state.
However, by tonight or tomorrow this flooding could also start to move southwards because the hose of the Atmospheric River from near Hawaii will start to move south today and tomorrow. This could really make a mess and lives could be in danger near the Burn areas of Los Angeles County and make the oceans and rivers a mess from poisonous runoff and ashes. So, people will have to be very careful and observant throughout the state of California the rest of this week as to mud and rock slides.
They expect up to 15 inches of rain total in several areas of Northern California:
