At least 3 more storms on the way

The WeatherRadar is showing some intense periods of rain and snow, with at least three systems slamming into the northern half of the Pacific Coast during the next four days.

Showers affected the Oregon coast on Tuesday morning. The core of the low-pressure system will continue to bring more rain and mountain snow during the afternoon, evening, and overnight into Wednesday across the Pacific Northwest all the way south over the northern half of California. The Bay Area will be brushed by rain by noon on Wednesday as the cold front also moves onshore.

The system will move inland on Wednesday and bring plenty of snow over the Northern Rockies and through Colorado, including the Denver area and surroundings, on Thursday. The system's primary energy will be shirking as it moves east. The wind will also be another factor, mainly affecting the mountains. The Sierra, along with snow on Wednesday afternoon, could experience gusts as high as 75 mph.

While Thursday will be relatively quiet, don't let your guard down. The following system will slam over the Pacific Northwest on Friday and likely bring rain and snow mountains over the weekend.
