SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Yet another atmospheric river is expected to hit California next week, dousing an already drenched Bay Area. KRON4 meteorologist John Shrable said this next storm can be expected to hit between March 21 and March 23."For areas that are already flooding this will be especially concerning with rising water levels yet again," Shrable said.
