""There's 30% to 40% chance of thunderstorms on Monday. We could see damaging wind gusts, intense rainfall, water spouts or brief, weak tornadoes." Though it's expected to start drizzling overnight, Angelenos likely won't see heavy rainfall until late Monday afternoon, with showers predicted through the evening. The coasts could see 1 to 2½ inches of rain, with up to 5 inches predicted for the foothills and mountains."
"Most of Los Angeles will be under a flood watch until at least 9 p.m. Monday, with "a 20% chance of more damaging debris flows in burn scar areas," Schoenfeld said. Residents near the burn scars from last year's firestorm will remain under an evacuation warning through Tuesday. Portions of Topanga Canyon Boulevard were closed beginning at 10 p.m. Sunday and extending into midweek."
A powerful winter storm will hit Los Angeles and much of Southern California Monday, producing heavy rain, thunderstorms, and damaging wind gusts. Coastal areas can expect 1 to 2½ inches of rain, while foothills and mountains may receive up to 5 inches. A colder, weaker system will follow Tuesday night into Wednesday, adding another inch to an inch and a half on the coast and up to 3 inches in higher terrain. Flood watches cover most of Los Angeles with a risk of debris flows in burn scar areas and evacuation warnings near recent burn scars. Officials urge residents to stay off roads, use caution, and follow official guidance.
