This second system is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the region.

The storm is expected to make landfall on Friday, March 10th, and continue through the weekend.

These weather events are fueled by a plume of moisture that originates over the Pacific Ocean.

Atmospheric rivers are important sources of water for California, but they can also cause significant damage and disruption.

The state is preparing for the storm by clearing out debris basins and monitoring flood-prone areas.

The second atmospheric river is a reminder of the ongoing risk of extreme weather events in California and the need for preparedness and resilience.
