Landfalling AR to impact California

• A moderate AR is expected to make landfall in north/central California tonight
• The AR propagates southward over the weekend bringing AR conditions to portions of southern California
• Current precipitation forecast suggests higher precipitation amounts of up to 150 mm over the Sierra Nevada Mts., while the Coastal Mts. are not expected to receive as much
• Above normal soil moisture conditions in northwestern CA suggest that conditions are primed for more of the precipitation to turn into runoff rather than be lost to moistening the soil
• Extended forecasts suggest the landfall of another AR over southern California on the 13th, but forecast confidence is currently low
