Parade of storms aimed at California again
California hasn’t had much time to dry out and recover from deadly storms that hit the state last week. Now, forecasters are already sounding the alarm about a new series of storms that is headed for the state. The first arrived Wednesday, but a much more powerful one is expected to hit Saturday. That one will be followed by another one early next week.

Quick-moving systems bringing more snow to Northeast
A deadly nor’easter that buried parts of the Northeast and New England with heavy snow is being followed by a couple of quick-moving storms. Thursday starts with snow falling in the Great Lakes, but that will spread into the Northeast by the afternoon. Another snowstorm will race out of the Midwest and toward the Interstate 95 corridor on Friday.
Minneapolis measured 6.9 inches of snow from this system on Wednesday, a daily record for Feb. 14. Before that, Minneapolis had only picked up 7.3 inches of snow over the entire winter, which means it saw nearly as much snow on Valentine's Day as it had previously received all season.
