Drivers should take precaution — its going to be windy over the Interstate 5 corridor this afternoon. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory from 3 p.m. this afternoon to 3 a.m. Wednesday for northwest winds up to 25 mph, gusts up to 45 mph.

About the incoming storm

The National Weather Service says there's another Pacific storm system making its way to the southland this weekend. Early rainfall predictions indicate there'll be 1 to 3 inches of rain falling along the coast and in the valleys, and 3 to 6 inches in the mountains. Forecasters say there's the potential for minor to moderate flooding, mud and rockslides and thunderstorms.

The storm is expected to move into the southland on Friday and linger through Sunday.

There's a small chance of snow showers affecting Interstate 5 through the Grapevine.

Things to do

  • 'Just For Us': Comedian Alex Edelman combines a natural, light-on-his-feet approach to stand-up comedy with a serious presence made for the theater in his one-man show Just For Us back after a sold-out December run for a few more nights at the Mark Taper Forum. The tight 90 minutes about his encounter with a White Nationalist group are funny, heartwarming, terrifying, and relevant. But don’t fret if you missed out on tickets, the show was filmed for HBO and will also be at your streaming fingertips in April.

Check out our full list of things to do this week.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
