Storms Soon to be Rolling into California

February 17, 2010 at 8:25PM

A series of storms will impact California later this week into next. Recently,not much has been going on through central and Southern California with nosubstantial rain being reported from San Francisco southward since Feb. 9.The first storm will hit later Friday and Friday night then another comes inSunday. Neither of these storms look capable of producing destructive winds andexcessive rainfall, but they will get you wet. Of the two, the Sunday stormmight be the strongest.

The storms are being born out of the El Nino weather pattern which favors lowpressure systems coming into California rather than the Pacific Northwest.

Ultimately, these disturbances will encounter colder air covering the centraland eastern part of the United States. That could mean more snow trouble formany.
