Atmospheric rivers are essentially a jet stream or river of warm moisture in the sky, bringing in more rain than normal storms.
That could lead to major flooding or landslides in areas not prepared to receive a burst of heavy rain.

So far, several flood advisories are in place as the region expects more rain to fall through Saturday.
