Southern California is likely to be soaked by a series of storms.
The first system arrives overnight Tuesday morning on Monday, and is expected to bring less than half an inch of rain to most areas of Metro Los Angeles.
“I think we’ll see the showers continue into the afternoon and tapering in the evening,” said Kacey Montoya, KTLA weather anchor. “Then we’ll get a nice break until Wednesday.”
A second, more powerful storm will arrive Wednesday afternoon, with the heaviest rain expected after midnight. Thunderstorms are also possible.
“It’s going to be very heavy rain for a few hours into the night early on Thursday,” Montoya said.

The total of 1-2 inches of rain could be in the coastal areas and valleys. The National Weather Service office in Los Angeles issued a flood clock that went into effect at 10pm on Wednesday and continues until 6pm on Thursday.
“Excessive runoff can lead to flooding in rivers, streams, streams, and other lowlands and flood-prone areas,” the warning said. “Debris flow is possible near recent burns. In mountains below snow levels, flood areas are possible.”
Snow levels are projected to drop to 3,000 feet. According to Montoya, areas over 5,000 feet can be seen in several inches of snow, while mountains over 6,000 feet will be buried 1-2 feet.
“That’s good news for ski resorts,” she said.
The sky was finally cleared Friday ahead of another potential storm system in expanded forecasts.
