Just days after a storm walloped Southern California with powerful winds and heavy rain that triggered mudslides and sinkholes, a new storm is threatening central and Northern California with similar impacts.

Many rivers are at or above flood stage due to the parade of storms that have hit the state hard this winter. This latest storm will continue to spread a stream of moisture into the state through Tuesday, which could bring lengthy travel delays or even evacuations for residents who live near streams or rivers.

In the Sierra Nevada, 2 to 4 feet of snow will bury the highest elevations. The heavy snowfall could lead to a closure of Interstate 80 along Donner Pass. Chain controls are already in effect as of Monday morning as heavy snow was falling over the summit, according to the California Department of Transportation.
