Serial storms are expected to hit the west coast of the United States during the next week, which will bring heavy rain and gusty winds with the possibility to reach Southern California.
The first storm will strike the Pacific Northwest Coast during Sunday night. Another weaker storm is likely to reach the coast during Tuesday night and Wednesday.
With this, an episode of two showers are expected across Seattle to Portland, Oregon and Crescent City in California.
Also, heavy rains are expected over parts of northwestern California. This rainfall may total up to 6 inches by the mid-week. Almost 1-3 inches of rain is expected over areas west of the interstate-5 corridor in Washington and Oregon.
Parts of Central California, including San Francisco may observe a few showers, however the amount of rain will be comparatively lower than to the rain occurring across areas farther north.
Practically no rain is anticipated to reach Southern California till Wednesday.
Winds will gust between 40-50 mph along the Washington and Oregon coasts and in the coastal mountains of southern Oregon and northern California.
The Cascades Range will be cold enough for hoarding snow. Snow levels will plunge to 7,000 feet on Monday, but ascend to near 8,000 feet during Tuesday and Wednesday.
This episode of rain will continue to increase the monthly rainfall surpluses throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Dry spells throughout the region have almost eradicated as some areas have already grabbed nearly four times their normal monthly October rainfall totals.
By the end of the week, dry weather will build across the Pacific Northwest as a fresh storm may arrive farther south, which will give locally heavy rainfall over areas of Central and Southern California.
