Rain has started up in northern California, and it won't stop any time soon.
Rain will likely last through at least Friday, bringing parts of Norcal over 6 inches of rain.
Widespread flooding is likely as a result of this massive storm.
The storm has been referred to as a bomb cyclone, which means a storm that has strengthened by 24 millibars of pressure over 24 hours.
The heavy rain totals are a result of an atmospheric river, which is essentially just a very strong plume of moisture.
Fortunately, by the time this storm impacts Kern, it will be much, much weaker.
Just a few showers are possible Saturday as the storm moves through.
We are keeping an eye on a different system Sunday into Monday that could bring some heavier rain, though.
Until then, all will be quiet here in Kern.
