which is rapidly strengthening. The storm’s pressure is expected to drop significantly by November 19, increasing its severity.Northern California and Oregon will experience heavy rain (8-12 inches, with some areas up to 15 inches) and over a foot of snow in mountain regions. Flooding, landslides, and rockfalls are possible, especially in wildfire-affected areas. Mountain passes like Siskiyou and Snoqualmie will face hazardous driving conditions due to snow and ice.
