Tonight's lows will drop to the low 50s.
This storm system should move out by early Thursday morning. It's expected to drop up to three-quarters of an inch of rain for the coasts and valleys and up to an inch and a half for the mountains and foothills.
Risk of debris flow and mudslides over the Palisades and Eaton fire burn scar areas is still minimal, according to the National Weather Service.
While all this rain is good, it's still not enough to get us out of fire season. The National Weather Service says we need three to four inches of rain to close out the season, and then it will still take a while for the moisture to soak into the soil.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
