00:00This California storm is about to split into a win and a problem. It moves inland mid to late week
00:04and brings much needed snow to the Rockies, then severe weather to the central US. But the southwest gets left
00:10out with limited moisture and gusty winds that could pick up dust and further increase wildfire risk. And not just
00:16briefly, Wednesday and Thursday both bring a higher fire danger risk. And before that, the storm is still soaking northern
00:21and central California through Wednesday with steady rain, a few thunderstorms and heavy Sierra snow making travel slick. But the
00:27bigger story is what happens next.
00:29Helpful snow in the Rockies and a growing fire risk further south.
