More desperately-needed rainfall is headed toward drought-stricken California this week. As we'll illustrate, there are also side-effects to this welcomed rain and mountain snow.http://www.weather.com/forecast/news/california-rain-storm
Spotty rain already fell this weekend in parts of California, and it was enough to bring three separate mud/rockslides in the Malibu area Sunday, prompting the closure of a nine-mile stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway in Ventura County.
The southwest winds ahead of this system will allow temperatures to stay on the warm side, keeping snow levels high. However, some high elevation mountain snow is expected, with a couple of feet of snow possible above 6500 feet in the Sierra. Travel may become hazardous over the passes later Tuesday into Wednesday.
