Severe storms to batter East and West coast as California faces risk of flash flooding and snow

Two severe storms are expected to batter the East and West coasts simultaneously starting Monday night as California faces a fresh threat of flash flooding and heavy mountain snow.

Two severe storms are expected to batter the East and West coasts simultaneously starting Monday night as California faces a fresh threat of flash flooding and heavy mountain snow.

The arrival of the pair of "separate but potent" low-pressure systems will see both sides of the country slammed with severe weather this week, with widespread precipitation linked to a system across the Pacific Northwest expected to move southward into California, the National Weather Service said.

The system is expected to slam onshore into the already storm-battered state Tuesday, with heavy precipitation expected throughout the next few days. Heavy snow is also forecast for higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, the agency said.

"Considerable flooding impacts" are also expected below 5,000-foot elevation along the central California coast, San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento Valley, and southern Sierra Nevada foothills into Tuesday, it said.
