High pressure will hover off the mid-Atlantic coast as a storm moves away from eastern Florida. A storm system will spread a large swath of precipitation over the middle of the nation. An area of light snow will expand over the central and northern Plains with a wintry mix and spotty ice from parts of Kansas to southern Wisconsin. Rain will fall on flooded areas over the middle and lower Mississippi Valley with little impact.

But after a wildfire two years ago stripped away vegetation and loosened soil, he feared the strong El Niño storms pounding the state could bring it all down. So the 61-year-old cor- porate auditor grabbed a sledgehammer and waded through the muck in his Monrovia backyard to knock a hole in a cement wall and let a mud flow skirt his house and run into a street. "It looked like Niagara Falls," Socha said. "It was quickly building up be- hind the house and I knew it could come right inside." Socha is among un- counted Californians trying to protect their property af- ter the first El Niño storms descended this week and brought wet, windy weather to an area stretching all the way to the Gulf Coast. Those storms dumped nearly 3 inches of rain Tues- day on Southern California, turning Socha's terraced backyard into a raging tor- rent of mud and debris. He kept his sledgehammer and shovels close on Wednesday as the winter's most pow- erful El Niño storm so far pushed into the state. Driving rain inundated the San Francisco Bay Area during the morning com- mute, causing nearly two dozen crashes, toppling trees and flooding streets and streams. Officials shut down the city's iconic cable cars, and buses were used to serve riders. The system pushed south toward Los Angeles, stirring high waves in the ocean and causing exten- sive flooding in the San Fer- nando Valley that swamped cars in deep water. It packed colder temper- atures, stronger winds and heavier rainfall than the previous storms that have lined up since the weekend and brought much-needed rain to the drought-stricken state. In all, the current storm was expected to dump as much as 3 more inches of rain in coastal and valley areas and up to 4 inches at higher elevations, National Weather Service meteorolo- gist Curt Kaplan said. Another less-powerful El Nino storm was right behind and expected to hit land Thursday. Los Angeles authorities spent days getting home- less people from low-lying areas along the Los Angeles River and other waterways prone to flooding. Shuttles were available to shelters that had room for as many as 6,000 beds, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said. "We're not going to charge them with things," Garcetti said. "But we will use the force of law — there is law on the books that they can't be there." Motorists in mountain areas were warned that blizzard conditions with wind gusts reaching 60 mph were possible above 4,000 feet. At the foot of the San Ga- briel Mountains, Monrovia officials dispatched crews with sandbags to help pro- tect Socha's neighborhood from landslides. That eased his mind somewhat, but he said he and his wife were vigilantly watching fore- casts of several more inches of rain. "We're amateur meteo- rologists now," he said.
