🌧️ National Weather Service reports rain is expected to return Thursday — with the heaviest showers north of L.A.
The counties south of L.A. should largely see 1 inch of rain or less.A"Pineapple Express" is a strong atmospheric river pulling moisture from the tropics, which turns into heavy rainfall and snow.
All that means is that this storm is warmer than the last one, bringing with it a whole different set of hazards.When it comes to snow-covered mountain communities, warm rain is a concern because it's one of the best ways to melt snow and create all sorts of flooding issues. There are other hazards to look out for besides flooding. The warmer weather is going to increase the risk of avalanches at elevations above 5,000 feet — and, wind gusts up to 40 mph can send things flying.. The climate pattern — indicated in part by cooling waters in the equatorial Pacific — is often associated with drier conditions in Southern California, though this winter it clearly was not.
