Early indicators have the National Weather Service warning of a &#8220;significant storm&#8221; expected to hit around the middle of next week.<\/p>\n<h3>Impacts on Burn Zones<\/h3>\n<p>The moderate rain totals from this week&#8217;s storms have helped the Los Angeles burn zones remain relatively stable, but the National Weather Service is warning that a larger storm could pose a major threat to those areas. &#8220;I would anticipate that next week we&#8217;re going to be talking about some pretty decent storms moving through, and that of course would pose a major threat to those burn areas,&#8221; said KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo.<\/p>\n<h4>Rainfall Expectations<\/h4>\n<p>At this point, the Weather Service believes the region will see between one and two inches of rain along the coasts and valleys, with mountain and foothill areas expected to get from two to four inches. However, KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo thinks the numbers might be undervalued, and that the storms could bring more significant rainfall. &#8220;I do think the numbers for next week&#8217;s storms will be pumped up a little bit. I think they&#8217;re a little undervalued. We&#8217;re looking at some decent rain,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h4>Mountain and Snowfall Forecasts<\/h4>\n<p>The most aggressive forecast model currently shows up to three inches of rain hitting the Los Angeles area, according to the Weather Service. Snow is also likely to fall at lower elevations when the storms begin to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday. &#8220;The mountain forecast shows colder temperatures. This will be more of a classic, cold winter storm,&#8221; Henry said.<\/p>\n<h5>Conclusion<\/h5>\n<p>It appears that Southern California is in for a significant storm system next week, with potentially significant rainfall and snowfall expected. Residents are advised to stay informed and prepared for the impacts of these storms.<\/p>\n<h5>FAQs<\/h5>\n<p>* When can we expect the storms to arrive?<br \/>\nThe storms are expected to begin arriving on Tuesday or Wednesday.<br \/>\n* How much rain can we expect?<br \/>\nThe Weather Service predicts between one and two inches of rain along the coasts and valleys, with two to four inches in mountain and foothill areas.<br \/>\n* Will there be snowfall?<br \/>\nYes, snow is likely to fall at lower elevations when the storms begin to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday.<br \/>\n* How much rain can we expect in the Los Angeles area?<br \/>\nThe most aggressive forecast model currently shows up to three inches of rain hitting the Los Angeles area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storms Headed to Southern California Next Week to Pack a Bigger Punch A Significant Storm on the Horizon The second of two relatively mild storms is moving out of Southern California, but a much larger system is building in the Pacific.
