California state and federal officials provided an update on Friday regarding the ongoing response to storms that have brought widespread damage to the state, with at least 17 people having died as a result.

Officials said there are three to four upcoming storm systems, but they're mostly concerned about the Saturday storm system that could bring "widespread, heavy rainfall in some locations, very heavy mountain snowfall as well, in addition to gusty winds up to 50-60 mph," said David Lawrence from the National Weather Service.

"Over the last 18 days, the state has seen a state-wide average of just over nine inches of rainfall. That is a remarkable number, and some locations have seen their average annual rainfall occur in just the last 18 days," Lawrence said.

"To date, the White House has provided an emergency declaration for 41 counties and we could be adding more," Nancy Ward, the director of the California governor's office of emergency services said Friday.
