Southern California anticipates a surge of moisture starting late Wednesday, signaling a soggy March. The recent dry spell contributed to one of the worst fire seasons, with L.A. receiving only 5.58 inches of rain so far this season versus the average of 11.08 inches. Forecasts suggest 1-2 inches of rain for mountains and potential thunderstorms by late Wednesday, along with strong winds reaching 50 mph. This change is crucial for the region’s water sources and fire risk mitigation.
The storm is also expected to unleash strong winds. Gusts could peak between 30 and 50 mph Thursday.
As of Tuesday, downtown L.A. had received 5.58 inches of rain since the water year began Oct. 1, which is below average.
