More rain comes to Southern California this weekend. Forecasters predict there'll be a lot less rainfall, but are concerned about flooding.
Southern California is preparing for more storms as we head into the new week, and while rain totals are expected to be significantly less than those from the slew of storms earlier this month, the already soaked earth has forecasters worried about potential flooding and mudslides.
According to the National Weather Service, the rain will start to head for Southern California starting Saturday night, with light rain in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, but the heavy rain will come Sunday and continue well into the week. Starting Sunday morning, coastal flood advisories have been issued for most coastal areas south of San Luis Obispo, with flood watches issued for most of southern Ventura County, most of Los Angeles County, and nearly all of Orange County. The rain coming to the area poses a "risk of significant flooding and mudslides and high mountain snow," the NWS said, with Sunday night through Wednesday morning being the "most concerning" period.PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Historic rain in Los Angeles leads to billions of gallons of rainwater collectedStorms early in February drenched Southern California, including much of LA County.
