Kern County is in for some heavy rain this Monday. An atmospheric river is pushing a second wave of storms our way. A winter storm alert is in effect for elevations above 6,500 feet with expected snowfall of 10 to 24 inches.

The first atmospheric river storm of the winter rainy season slammed into California on Wednesday. Driven by a powerful “bomb cyclone” off British Columbia, it brought heavy rains to Sonoma and Marin counties, dumping more than 6 inches in the hills above Guerneville by mid-afternoon.

The second day of an atmospheric river brought heavy rain to Northern California and the Bay Area Thursday, with the heaviest downfalls in the North Bay ahead of the storm moving south on Friday.

After days of relentless rain and winds fueled by a persistent atmospheric river, much of California is now seeing a brief break. However, the state isn’t out of the woods just yet, with more rain and potential flooding forecast in the coming days.

Heather Waldman gives the seven-day outlook on Nov. 25 at 4 p.m. She also talks about rain totals for Monday. Ryan Kobayashi, who flew to Los Angeles looking for his daughter, Hannah, after she was reported missing, 'tragically took his own life,' according to his family.

An atmospheric river is continuing to batter Northern California with heavy rain. Now, meteorologists predict that it will also bring powerful, blustery winds to the region on Friday.  The heavy rainfall could increase the risk of landslides and flooding in the North Bay region in particular,

The passage of an atmospheric river storm did not mean the end of the Bay Area's wet weather as steady rain continued to fall across the region Monday and there was a chance it could resume again on Thanksgiving Day.
