Rain forecast ahead
The National Weather Service reports that another storm system is coming to the Southland this weekend. Right now, forecast models show a weak system could hit Saturday night through Sunday, but a more powerful system will come Sunday night through Tuesday.
A strong storm Sunday through Tuesday will likely bring periods of heavy rain, mountain snow, strong winds, flooding, and possible power outages. Stay safe: avoid low-lying areas and large waves at the coast and be prepared for disruptions. pic.twitter.com/ehxXQ55551

The current rainfall totals are projected to be 2 to 5 inches from Sunday through Wednesday for coastal and valley areas, and between 4 to 8 inches in the foothills and mountains.
Projected snow levels right now are in the 7,000 elevation range.
Weather forecasters say with the amount of rain we saw last week, significant hydrologic issues — especially in the hills where more mudslides and rockslides — could follow.
