California atmospheric river flood concerns forces evacuations | LiveNOW from FOX

The first in a new series of atmospheric rivers flowed into California on Thursday, and forecasters from the National Weather Service warned that widespread heavy rain would raise the threat of flooding in a state still digging out from earlier storms. Rain spread across the north by early afternoon. But forecasters said the heart of the atmospheric river wouldn’t arrive until late in the day. The heaviest downpours were expected to last into early Friday, followed by lesser precipitation. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX!
