A slow-moving and potent storm will grab Pacific Ocean moisture and fling it at Southern California in the form of multiple rounds of heavy rain and gusty thunderstorms into Easter Sunday.

An Easter weekend storm will dump inches of rain on coastal areas of Southern California with feet of snow for the mountains. Not only may the storm foil outdoor plans, but it is likely to create travel difficulties.
From 1-2 inches of rain will douse the Los Angeles and San Diego areas through Sunday. Much of that rain may fall in bursts that last up to a few hours each and rapidly run off and collect on streets and low-lying areas along the highways. Forecasters urge motorists to allow extra time and be prepared to seek an alternative route if they must travel.
Gusty winds along the coast will generate large waves, pounding surf and the likelihood of overwash along the beaches. However, waves will not be as large as that of some storms from the past winter, so coastal flooding may not be as severe. In the zone from San Francisco to Sacramento, California, the bulk of the rain will fall into Saturday morning. After that, the rain will become more showery. There can still be locally gusty thundershowers with hail in some cases into Easter Sunday.
