New storm causes downed trees, power lines across Central Coast
An atmospheric river aimed at California is bringing a new round of stormy weather to the state.
Rain is falling widely on the Central Coast early Wednesday and is expected to spread south, feeding on the deep plume of moisture that stretches across the Pacific to near Hawaii.
Small creeks and streams have been rising rapidly through the morning, and there are reports of localized roadway flooding.
Much of the state is blanketed in wind warnings and advisories, and a winter storm warning is in effect across the Sierra Nevada.
Several downed trees and powerlines were reported in both Monterey and Santa Cruz County Wednesday morning.
The California Highway Patrol responded to a tree down with low hanging wires in the 200 block of Paradise Road in North Monterey County.
School was cancelled at Chualar Union Elementary due to a power outage.
Carmel City leaders said City Hall is experiencing a power outage. They believe it is due to a fallen tree.
