A large storm brought heavy rain, high winds and very heavy mountain snow to California on Saturday

A series of storms is set to bring further impacts to the region over the next few days

The rainy weather on Saturday caused flooding in Malibu, on the Los Angeles River in Glendale and raging waters flowing down the Pacific Coast Highway

The storm brought damaging winds to Southern California, with gusts at Point Conception reaching 76 mph, nearly 18 inches of fresh snow fell at Mammoth Mountain and a possible tornado was reported in Acton

The rain came at a particularly intense rate, with 0.23 inches of rain in 10 minutes reported in Beverly Hills, 0

31 inches of rain in Malibu in just five minutes, and a half an inch of rain in five minutes in Santa Barbara

Multiple systems will bring more rounds of unsettled weather to the western U.S

through Tuesday. Heavy rain is impacting much of the California coast on Sunday morning, with the heaviest rain between San Francisco and Los Angeles

Winter storm warnings, watches and advisories, as well as flood and wind alerts, are in effect for much of the western U

S. through the next few days. Another system will slide south and east toward California on Sunday and bring multiple rounds of rain to the California coast line

However, rain will become more widespread by Monday as the storm comes ashore and heavy rain will fall once again in Southern California

Farther north, colder air and snow will be moving into the Northwest as well. There is a possibility of some lowland snow in Seattle from Sunday night into Monday morning

Even though accumulations will be light, it could make for a problematic morning commute

That storm will also move inland on Monday, however, it is expected to be less intense than the previous two storms

About 1 to 2 inches more rain will fall along the Southern California coast line through Tuesday, with the majority of that coming in Monday's storm

Locally, 7 to 10 feet of snow accumulation is expected in the Sierra Nevada Mountains

Snow will also move into the southern Cascades and northern Rockies, with 1 to 2 feet of fresh snow expected locally

Mild weather expanding in Midwest A major warmup is underway in the Midwest after the region dealt with a brutal cold blast early this week

Lone Rock, Wisconsin, which was minus 39 on Thursday, reached 41 degrees on Saturday

That is an 80-degree warm up in 57 hours. Mild air will keep expanding throughout the central U

S. Sunday, with temperatures reaching nearly 40 degrees in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois

Temperatures will reach almost 70 from Oklahoma City to Little Rock, Arkansas -- nearly 20 degrees above average

Temperatures are in the low 60s to mid-50s from St. Louis to Roanoke, Virginia, about 10 to 15 degrees above average

Some of this mild air will slide east on Monday, with another mild day from Oklahoma City to Detroit

Chicago will start the day in the 40s, but the passing of a cold front will bring the temperature back down into the 30s, which is seasonable for this time of the year

When the milder air reaches the East Coast it will be accompanied by a mix of clouds and sun for the major Northeast cities

The latest forecast guidance shows temperatures will be approaching the 60s by Tuesday, with sun and clouds from Washington, D

C., to Boston. The combination of sunshine and temperatures nearly 20 degrees above average is relatively atypical in this region of the country in February

Additionally, it will likely be the nicest and most comfortable weather this region has seen in months

US| More snow, thunderstorms expected for Northern California The Sacramento Bee - Duration: 4:49.

US| More snow, thunderstorms expected for Northern California The Sacramento Bee

February 02, 2019 11:38 AM

A winter storm that has been moving across California is showing no signs of slowing down, especially in the mountains, with thunderstorms and even the threat of tornados late Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

More rain and snow is expected Sunday, making driving conditions in the Sierra Nevada hazardous and prompting the National Weather Service to issue flash flood watches in several fire affected areas.

For about an hour around noon, Caltrans closed portions of Interstate 80 due to vehicle spinouts and collisions. The major roadway is now open, though chain restrictions are in effect. The transportation agency also reported an overturned vehicle on Highway 50 by Sierra at Tahoe, though it said traffic was moving in both directions.

Just after 4 p.m., the weather service issued a tornado warning for Butte, Colusa and Glenn counties, which expired without incident.

Heavy snowfall in the mountains will continue through Tuesday, dumping 5 to 10 feet of snow in pass areas along Interstate 80 and Highway 50, said Idamis Del Valle, NWS meteorologist. The highest peaks could hit levels of up to 13 feet.

On Monday, snow levels could drop between 1,000 and 2,000 feet in elevation, the weather service said. For now, snow levels will remain above 3,500 feet through Sunday night, she said.

NWS Reno issued a backcountry avalanche watch in the greater Lake Tahoe area, between Yuba Pass and Ebbetts Pass, through 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Heres a look at the Sierra snow reports through this morning. More snow is on the way, with snow accumulations from 5 to 10 FEET expected at pass levels through Tuesday.

The NWS in Sacramento tweeted out Friday that traveling into the Sierra is highly discouraged.

Caltrans against traveling into higher elevations, but said those planning a trip into the mountains should allow for extra travel time and be prepared to get out those chains.

Updated information on chain control areas can be found at .

Chain controls are in place throughout the Sierra Nevada region. Check for real time updates. Travel is not advised, but those planning a trip to the area should allow extra travel time.

The storms so far have dropped .87 inches in Sacramento in the 24 hours ending at 4 p.m., with areas north receiving twice that amount or more in the period – Alder Springs receiving 1.77 inches, while Redding, Red Bluff, Blue Canyon and Paradise are seeing more than 2.4 inches and Konocti on Clear Lake recording 2.97 inches – the weather service reported.

Showers are expected to continue in the Sacramento Valley through Saturday and has the potential for thunderstorms later in the day, Del Valle said, as another band of widespread precipitation will reach the area after 6 p.m.

There could be some brief lulls, but overall the pattern will remain pretty active through Monday in the valley, decreasing shower activity on Tuesday, Del Valle said.

The valley is expected to get 1 to 3 inches of rain through Tuesday, while the foothills are expecting 3 to 7½ inches of rain, Del Valle said.

Areas of light to moderate rain continue to affect much of interior early this morning. A band of heavier precipitation moving inland from the coast will spread across the and areas during the next few hours.

A flash flood watch has also been issued through Monday for burn scar from multiple fires in Northern California.

Residents in the areas of the Camp, Mendocino Complex, Carr, Hirz and Delta fires burned should be on the look out and prepared to evacuate if necessary, according to a .

Flooding could increase debris flow consisting of rock, mud, vegetation and loose materials, the NWS said.

Especially if thunderstorms move into the area, Del Valle said.

Potential for thunderstorms in the Central Valley this afternoon into early evening. When thunder roars, go indoors!

2 dead, 2 burned when plane parts hit California house - Duration: 4:46.

Two people died and two others were injured after a small plane apparently came apart, dropping parts that scattered across a suburban neighborhood and ignited a house fire before landing in a backyard, witnesses and authorities said Sunday

The crash shook the Yorba Linda neighborhood about 2 p.m. after the twin-engine Cessna 414A took off from the Fullerton Municipal Airport about a dozen miles west of the blaze, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said

The pilot was the only person in the twin-engine plane, though authorities have not determined who among the dead and injured were on board or on the ground

A two-story house burst into flames after being struck by a plane part, sending panicked neighbors into the streets

"It was a boom. It sounded like something exploded. It shook our house," said John Wolbart, who lives a block away

He said he ran to the burning house and saw a woman come out with singed hair. The wounded were taken to a hospital with burn injuries, said Pokey Sanchez, an assistant chief with the Orange County Fire Authority

A firefighter was also treated for a minor injury. Clint Langford, who lives about a half-mile away, said he was in his living room when he heard a low rumbling

"It's the eerie, low rumbling sound that keeps getting lower and louder. It was scary," he said

"And then all of a sudden boom. It shook the house." He looked out his front door and could see plane parts falling out the sky in the distance

Pat Rogers, who lives about a mile from the crash site, told the Orange County Register he saw the plane on fire and coming apart

Video posted on Twitter showed panicked residents running to the house as it became engulfed in flames and dark smoke

One man doused a burning wing that landed on the street with a garden hose. Aerial footage taken from news helicopters show plane parts, including side panels and a propeller, scattered on rooftops and driveways near the burned house

The main body of the twin-engine plane was found in the backyard of another home not far from the burned house

The fire spread to a SUV that was parked in the driveway. Rain from a winter storm helped firefighters extinguish the house fire

They planned to search the burned house in case there were additional victims, Sanchez said

The National Transportation and Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash

Scattered showers continue across Southern California, as the latest winter storm moves through the - Duration: 6:22.

Scattered showers continued across Southern California early Sunday and flash flood warnings remained in effect in some burn areas, but forecasters said the latest winter storm to hit the region was expected to ease up over the next few days

 "The worst has already happened," said Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard

Advertisement >  The storm, the second in a series forecast to strike the area, moved into Santa Barbara County on Saturday with intense bursts of rain and wind that topped 80 mph

Though the storm tapered off in the evening, it picked up again early Sunday, with wind gusts of up to 60 mph and overnight rainfall totals of up to 3 inches

 Spotty showers were expected throughout the day as the storm continued to move east

Flash-flood warnings remained in effect in some parts of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Orange and Riverside counties early Sunday

 Highway 101, which was closed in both directions in Montecito on Saturday morning due to mudflows, was reopened to traffic Saturday night, Caltrans officials said

 Pacific Coast Highway, however, remained closed in both directions near Yerba Buena Road early Sunday due to a mudslide that covered a portion of the northbound lanes, officials said

No homes were affected, and road crews were busy clearing the mud, which in some areas was up to 3 feet deep

 Early Saturday, a Ventura County sheriff's search-and-rescue team member was killed and three other team members were injured in a crash on rain-slicked Interstate 5 near Gorman in northern Los Angeles County, officials said

The group was on its way to Mt. Pinos for a training exercise when they saw a crash on the freeway and stopped to help

 "While they were assisting people, a vehicle plowed into the scene," Ventura County Sheriff's Sgt

Eric Buschow said. "They stopped to help people because that's what they do. This is another tough day for us

"  At least six other people were hurt and taken to hospitals.  The victim, Jeff Dye, was a volunteer with the Fillmore Mountain Search and Rescue Team, the Sheriff's Department said

 Stewart said a third storm would move into the Los Angeles region on Monday but will not be as intense as the previous ones

Up to 1 inch of rain is expected through Tuesday before the region returns to dry weather

 The storm was forecast to dump up to 7 inches of rain in mountain areas, and the weather service warned of possible heavy snow in mountain passes

Advertisement >  In Malibu Saturday afternoon, Caltrans crews worked to clear the highway of mud up to 3-feet deep south of County Line Beach

A RV camper parked along the side of PCH became submerged in mud and surrounded by tree branches

 Ventura County Fire Capt. Joe Dullam said the highway was also covered in two spots near Deer Creek Road that have been problematic in recent storms, including one area where several vehicles became stuck in early January

 "This is pretty much what we expected," Dullam said.  Don Burpee said it's not the first time the neighborhood has seen mud wash down from the nearby hillside that burned in the Woolsey fire

But Saturday's mudslide was the largest, the Malibu resident said.  "Sure, you worry about it

You do what you can," Burpee said. "But there is kind of a limit to what you can do

US| Rains to diminish across Southern California, but risk of mudflows and floods continues Los An

Intense rainstorms that caused flooding and at least one death in Southern California over the weekend are expected to diminish Sunday, with mild precipitation lingering into Tuesday.

The worst has already happened, said Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.

A weaker storm system bringing light rain will move across Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties until early in the week, according to the weather service. The storm is also expected to dump rain and up to 16 inches of snow in mountainous areas, which could impact the stretch of Interstate 5 known as the Grapevine.

Gusty winds moving south to southwest at up to 45 mph will continue through Tuesday night, according to the NWS, which has issued a winter storm warning for the area.

People should still be on the lookout for flooding and avoid driving through any road that appears submerged, no matter how shallow, said National Weather Service meteorologist Keily Delerme. She noted that a vehicle can be swept away in just 12 inches of water.

An earlier storm this weekend moved into Santa Barbara County on Saturday with intense bursts of rain and wind that topped 80 mph. Though the storm tapered off in the evening, it picked up again early Sunday, with wind gusts of up to 60 mph and overnight rainfall totals of up to 3 inches.

Highway 101, which was closed in both directions in Montecito on Saturday morning because of mudflows, was reopened to traffic Saturday night, Caltrans officials said.

A 17 mile stretch of Pacific Coast Highway in the Malibu area remains closed in both directions from Las Posas Road to Trancas Canyon Road Sunday because of a mudslide that covered a portion of the northbound lanes, officials said. No homes were affected, and road crews were busy clearing the mud, which in some areas was up to 3 feet deep.

By and

A small plane crashed into a Southern California home on Sunday, killing five people, injuring two others and spraying debris across several residential blocks that temporarily became a site of chaos.

The crash, which occurred around 2 p.m., killed four people inside the Yorba Linda home — two men and two women — as well as the planes male pilot, Lt. Cory Martino of the Orange County Sheriffs Department said at on Sunday. Officials said the pilot had been the only person on the aircraft; the relationship between the four people inside the home was not clear.

An investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, Eliott Simpson, said the plane left Fullerton Airport at 1:35 p.m. It traveled about 10 miles and had climbed to about 7,800 feet, he said, before making a rapid descent into Yorba Linda, a sleepy suburban city 10 miles northeast of Disneyland.

The authorities did not immediately release the names of the five people who were killed or disclose the exact cause of their deaths. Two other people were taken to a hospital with what the authorities described as moderate injuries, though they did not elaborate.

by a man who said he lives near the site of the crash showed several foot high flames knifing through the roof of a home on a winding street. In the video, there are occasional explosive pops, and neighbors urge each other to get away from the burning residence.

The man, Joshua Nelson, later posted a photo of from a plane strewn across a neighbors driveway and lawn.

The plane blew up in the sky, Jared Bocachica, who witnessed the crash, .

At the news conference, Mr. Simpson said debris from the plane, a 1981 Cessna, was scattered as far as four blocks from the crash site.

Nancy Mehl, another nearby resident, she was in her kitchen when she heard what sounded like the high pitched whine of a plane preparing for takeoff.

And then it felt like a bomb went off through the front of the house, Ms. Mehl told the newspaper, adding that pieces of the plane came rocketing through her home.

One of the first things I did when I saw the damage was get on my knees and thank God, Ms. Mehl told The Times. Talk about being spared.

The strongest Pacific storm of this winter season struck California on Feb. 02, pounding the state with heavy rain, driving snow, and high winds.

Thousands barricaded their homes with sandbags to keep floodwaters at bay, as flash flood warnings were issued for huge swaths of Southern California. Residents in several counties were ordered or urged to evacuate.

She does not scare easily, but she got a little scared watching that water rise, said Warren Bowman, the son in law of an 86 year old Malibu resident initially reluctant to leave her home, but later fleeing with her cat to higher ground.

Rescue crews scrambled Saturday to pluck motorists from cars caught in rising waters, said Mike Eliason, a spokesman for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. He urged drivers who come upon flooded intersections to find alternate routes.

Turn around. Driving through is going to be a costly error in judgment, he said. Its just not worth it.

A large pine tree believed to be 100 years old fell on a Santa Barbara home, and a eucalyptus tree fell into a two story apartment complex in the city of Goleta.

Forecasters said over 4 inches of rain had fallen in parts of California, causing mudslides to carry trees and rocks into lanes, forcing road closures.

Stretches of Highway 101 in Santa Barbara County and the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu were closed due to high water, mud, and debris over the road.

Crews worked to clear mud that was as high as 3 feet deep on some roads, .

This is a dangerous situation, the National Weather Service said, warning that the high rates of rain could send boulders sluicing down denuded hillsides along with the mud and debris.

Multiple accidents were reported on slick roads.

A member of the Ventura County search and rescue team was killed and nine other people were injured in a car crash on Saturday morning near Pyramid Lake, with rain washed making for hazardous driving conditions.

The team was at the scene of another vehicle crash on Interstate 5 when a minivan lost control on the wet roadway and plowed into members of the team, according to the Associated Press.

This is a very unfortunate situation that couldve been avoided, Los Angeles County fire Capt. Tony Imbrenda said, warning motorists to slow down in the rain.

Several feet of snow fell in the mountains, where whiteout conditions closed roads and disrupted traffic.

Trees and power lines were down across the region.

Heavy rain possible over parts of Southern California Coast, the National Weather Service said in a published on Sunday, valid through Tuesday, Feb. 05.

Heavy snow likely over the Sierras, Northern Rockies, and the Upper Midwest, the NWS predict, adding that rain falling on frozen ground will produce freezing rain over parts of the Upper Great Lakes.

Temperatures will be 10 to 36 degrees below average over parts of the Northern Plains, said the NWS.

Inclement weather systems are expected to continue to produce heavy rain along the California Coast through Monday evening, NWS said.

The heavy precipitation over Southern California will lead to a high risk of flash flooding and debris flows, particularly near burn scar areas, said NWS.

Don Burpee said its not the first time the neighborhood has seen mud wash down from the nearby hillside that burned in the Woolsey fire. But Saturdays mudslide was the largest, the Malibu resident said.

Sure, you worry about it. You do what you can, Burpee said. But there is kind of a limit to what you can do.
