California Braces for 12th Atmospheric River and More Storms

California is preparing for its 12th atmospheric river, which is expected to bring heavy snow and rain to the state, mainly targeting southern California. Thousands are under evacuation orders in two small central California towns as officials worry roads could become impassable and isolate residents. The National Weather Service warns that the ground is vulnerable to more flooding and rapid runoffs due to the overly saturated soils from last week's storm. The atmospheric river is expected to bring 1-3 inches of rain across the lower elevations and 2-4 inches across the foothills of Southern California through Thursday.
