Important Takeaways:
- The weather in the new year will kick off on an active note as a series of storms will travel from coast to coast, bringing heavy rain, snow and thunderstorms over the 10 days. The West will bear the brunt of each storm first, beginning with one arriving early this week, warn AccuWeather meteorologists.
- Packing flooding downpours, mountain snow and a continuation of coastal threats seen last week, the first in the “parade of storms” arrived along the Pacific Northwest coast south to Northern California on Tuesday. Rain and snow will continue to spread south through the Golden State into Wednesday.
- Additional storms will then follow into this weekend and the middle of next week. It isn’t all bad news despite travelers’ concerns with the storms. “This is very much good news for ski resorts across the Sierra Nevada range,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham.
- “As the storm shifts inland, rain and mountain snow are expected to spread into Nevada and the Four Corners region (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah) between Wednesday night and Thursday,” added Buckingham. “Beyond that, the next phase of the storm will take shape across the southern Plains and then South later in the week.”
