By Madison Richardson, Allison Chinchar, and Monica Garrett, CNN Meteorologists A powerful winter storm system will strengthen over the Pacific, bringing damaging winds, rain, and heavy mountain snow to an already soaked California beginning Monday night. "Preceding storms have saturated soils which will result in trees coming down and the potential for more power outages," National Weather Service San Francisco meteorologist Roger Grass told CNN. In an average winter, this type of atmospheric river storm would bring beneficial precipitation to the region.
