Sacramento was battered by high winds Saturday night, with the National Weather Service recording gusts of up to 70 mph. The National Weather Service warned of a “relentless parade of atmospheric rivers" - storms that are long plumes of moisture stretching out into the Pacific capable of dropping staggering amounts of rain and snow. A tree collapsed and ripped up the sidewalk damaging a home in Sacramento, Calif., Sunday, Jan. SMUD reported 225,542 customers are still without power. "Our crews are assessing the damage and working to restore power to impacted areas."Īs of noon, power restoration was happening slowly across the region. "Due to the severe weather, we’re experiencing many outages," SMUD said in a statement. SMUD is the city's longstanding community-owned power company. Unlike most of Northern California, Sacramento has its own electricity provider. Half of the customers in the Sacramento Municipal Utility District were in the dark Sunday morning after high winds took out power lines and trees overnight.Īs of 6 a.m., SMUD is reporting 320,260 out of its approximately 650,000 customers are being affected by outages in the greater Sacramento area that's 817 total outages reported. We will monitor the development of those storms and will pass along more info as the forecast becomes more clear.Jan. If rainfall amounts verify at the high end of our range, we will be in for a potentially significant flood event of small rivers and streams with main rivers well into the monitor/ action stage.īoth storms later in the week do not appear to be as strong or as wet as the early week storm. If rainfall amounts verify, we could see water flow into the Yolo Bypass and many segments along the Sacramento River approaching the monitor stage. Many small streams will approach the monitor stage. Overall snowfall between both storms will range between 3-7 feet in the higher passes.Ī few rivers to monitor next week include the Cosumnes, Sacramento, Yuba, and Bear rivers. Snow in the Sierra will turn to rain with the second storm as snow levels rise to 7-8,000 feet Monday, then dropping as low as 6,000 feet Monday night. The Sierra Foothills should receive a whopping 5-10 inches (locally, 12 inches or more) of rain. Rainfall between the first two storms will range from 3-6 inches in the Sacramento Valley. This storm will hit the San Francisco Bay Area especially hard with the potential for life-threatening flash floods. Rain will be heavier and last longer, renewing the chance for flooding region-wide. Winds will likely gust 50-55 miles per hour, with pockets of up to 60 miles per hour as early as Monday morning and continue through the day. This one will bring much heavier rain and stronger wind gusts to the region as soon as early Monday. Overall, this will not be as strong as the last storm but the combination of soaked grounds and weakened trees will likely result in outages across the area. We anticipate strong winds Saturday evening and Saturday night, gusting 40-50 miles per hour. This may result in localized pockets of flooding. Expect a quiet start to Saturday but showers will pick up in coverage later in the day, some of which may produce heavy rain. This will bring gusty winds and heavy rain this weekend. CBS Sacramento will have extensive storm coverage each day. We now have four straight First Alert Action Days for Saturday through Tuesday.
