While Wednesday’s deluge was relatively minor, with less rainfall and mostly contained to northwestern California, another atmospheric river, the eighth in a parade of storms, was expected to drench most of the state this weekend, said Zack Taylor, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center.
The storms, which have dumped more than 30 inches of rain in some mountain areas, have killed at least 17 people since the start of the year, California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Tuesday. The search for a five-year-old boy who was swept away by raging floodwaters near San Miguel, a small village in Central California, was to resume on Wednesday, the local sheriff’s department said.
