There is no end in sight for Californians as heavy snow and torrential rain continue to impact the state. Here is a look at the updated forecast for the battered region.

Several Feet of Snow Headed to the California Mountains

Forecasters are warning that up to 16 feet of snow will fall across the higher terrains of California by the time that the storm train finally comes to a halt. After a brief respite from the onslaught during the middle of the week, more moisture is forecast to move into the state on Thursday. Yet another storm will target Northern California later in the weekend.

It has been a challenging few days to get up to the California mountains as storms continue to roll in from the Pacific. The latest forecast models suggest that the hardest-hit areas of the Sierra Nevada will pick up 12 to 16 feet of snow by late next week. Motorists should anticipate additional pass closures in the days ahead.
