"The most powerful band of a large atmospheric river storm slammed into Southern California Saturday, dumping much-needed rain across the region but also bringing mudslide dangers to communities still reeling from last January's firestorms. The storm flooded some streets and highways, sent mud and rocks sliding onto some canyon roads and made for treacherous driving conditions. The weather probably contributed to at least two deaths in Northern California and on the Central Coast."
"But as of Saturday evening, there were no immediate reports of major damage to property in Southern California, including in the burn-scarred neighborhoods of Altadena, Pacific Palisades and Malibu. As of Saturday afternoon, the storm had dumped 2 to 3 inches of rain across the greater Los Angeles area, and 3 to 6 inches in the foothills and mountains of the Transverse Ranges."
A strong atmospheric river produced heavy rain across Southern California, causing flooded streets, highway impacts, rockslides and mudslides in fire-scarred areas. Rain totals reached 2 to 3 inches in the Los Angeles basin and 3 to 6 inches in foothills and mountains, with isolated spots receiving up to 8 inches. The storm likely contributed to at least two deaths in Northern California and the Central Coast. Officials warned of continued scattered showers, a slight thunderstorm chance with gusty winds, hail and flash flooding risk due to saturated soils. Two additional storms are possible early and later next week.
