A big rain storm is slowly making its way down from San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, bound for L.A.
National Weather Service Meteorologist David Sweet says precipitation could arrive as early as this evening, bringing steady rainfall for much of Friday with a chance of thunderstorms.
"We're expecting somewhere between one to two inches of rain in the lowlands and about two to four inches in the mountains and in the foothills."
So where is the rain and when will it get here? NWS is now warning it's been falling at as much as one inch per hour:
