AccuWeather For Business meteorologists forecasts that companies will see rainfall from southern Oregon through southern California, bringing the risk for flash flooding. Strong winds will also be a problem and could cause extended power outages. 

Heavy snow will fall across the Sierra Nevada, leading to travel disruptions, including closures across major mountain passes.

Businesses in the area of this storm should prepare for the following: 

  • Business disruptions from extended power outages 
  • Ground logistics disruption due to road closures, downed trees, and power outages from flooding or drifting snow
  • Loss of Inventory due to flooding - if your assets are in a low-lying area, take precautions
