California faced another atmospheric river event Tuesday that forecasters warn would bring heavy rains, widespread flooding and mountain snow to much of the state through Wednesday.
The big picture: As heavy rain fell Tuesday, officials warned the latest atmospheric river could "hammer" areas inundated by flooding in the earlier storm.
The Environmental Protection Agency proposed drinking water regulations on Tuesday for certain types of "forever chemicals," a pervasive group of industrial chemicals that have affected drinking water quality across the U.S.
Why it matters: If the proposals become official, it'd be the first time the federal government would require utilities to remove the dangerous chemicals from drinking water before they reach households and businesses.
