Weather forecasters say confidence is growing in the likelihood of another strong storm arriving in soggy, snow-laden California early next week. The outlook for more winter-like weather increased Friday as the state turned windy and cold, with residual rain and mountain snow showers in the aftermath of the most recent storm. The next one is expected to arrive Monday. The San Francisco Bay Area weather office says all the threats of downed trees, power outages and flooding will be in play. California has been battered by storm after storm since late December. States of emergency have been declared in 43 counties. As of Thursday, more than 700 people were being housed in 16 shelters in eight counties.

In early April, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the regulatory group, will consider three proposals that all call for the closure of the 2023 season for commercial and recreational salmon fishing in California and most of Oregon. Biologists say the Chinook salmon population has declined dramatically after years of drought. Many in the fishing industry say Trump-era rules that allowed more water to be diverted from the Sacramento River Basin to agriculture caused even more harm.
