California, reeling from a month-long string of winter storms, was preparing for another bout of rain, wind and snow on Monday, while New Englanders awaited a brewing Nor'easter across the region.
The storm was the product of what meteorologists call an atmospheric river, a high-altitude current of dense, subtropical moisture streaming into the West Coast from the warm Pacific waters around Hawaii.
Drone footage above Monterey County showed entire neighborhoods inundated by brown waters after a levee on the Pajaro River failed. Evacuation warnings and orders across the county of 430,000 residents remained in place on Monday. The storms also triggered a debris flow that closed Highway 1, a scenic north-south route on the Pacific Coast, just south of Big Sur.
Some 2,500 miles to the east, a Nor'easter storm was forecast to dump as much as 16 inches of heavy snow and whip winds of up to 45 miles per hour from Pennsylvania up into Maine starting on Monday night and into Wednesday, the National Weather Service said in a winter storm warning.

As it moves out, weather officials say another onslaught of rain and snow could yet again pummel the region as soon as Monday night. The next torrent could exacerbate the severe flooding that overwhelmed the area in recent days, including a levee failure that prompted widespread evacuations in farming communities near the state’s Central Coast. The next storm could bring gusts as strong as 50 mph, which has the potential of snapping tree branches and downing power lines.
