More Rain for SoCal as Storm Takes Aim for the Region This Upcoming Week
First System Arrives Tuesday Evening
Don’t put your umbrellas and jackets back in storage just yet; more wet weather is taking aim for Southern California this upcoming week. A storm that’s currently battering Northern California is slated to weaken and travel south toward the Southland. It’s forecasted to arrive earlier in the week and just as quickly move out of the region.
“The rain starts to move in on Tuesday evening,” NBC4 Meteorologist Stephanie Olmo said. “Much of the day, or the morning and afternoon, looking dry across the region and then that changes as we head toward the evening hours.”
Peak Rain Expected Tuesday Evening to Wednesday Morning
Olmo said in her forecast that the peak rain is slated to happen Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. “This is when we’re expected to see more of that widespread, moderate-to at times-heavier rain and some of the impacts we could see with this – slick road and localized flooding,” she said. “That’s going to be a concern.”
Second System Brings More Rain
After this system leaves the region, there will be a brief break from the wet weather before another storm potentially arrives. Northern California will get hit by another system on Thursday and that precipitation could trickle down south to deliver more rain in Southern California.
Rainfall Totals Expected
If these two systems occur, Ventura County could potentially get the most rain, with some areas seeing up to 3 inches. Los Angeles County faces an inch to 2 inches of rain while the Inland Empire and Orange County face lesser amounts.
Conclusion
As the region prepares for more rain, it’s essential to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure safety. Keep an eye on the forecast for updates and be prepared for potential impacts such as slick roads and localized flooding.
