Parts of Northern California are under a flood watch through Tuesday as an atmospheric river brings heavy rains to a region that’s also anticipating plenty of snow.

The second in a series of atmospheric river storms is set to arrive in Northern California on Monday, prompting flood watches for much of the region and a winter storm warning up in the Sierra.

Here's the latest forecast for an upcoming winter storm that forecasters hope could finally lift Los Angeles County from the throes of a devastating fire season.

Instead of major fires the Golden State will be delt with major rainfall with precipitation amounts that could reach over half a foot over the next week.

Heather Waldman breaks down the forecast on Feb. 3 at 4 p.m.

Forecasters believe there's little risk that the rains expected next week will trigger debris flows and mudslides in Southern California's recent burn areas.
