What we know about the storm system this week
The National Weather Service said that a storm system is expected to move into the region Wednesday into Friday, bringing widespread rain and mountain snow.
The coasts and valleys could get between one-half and 1 inch of rain, and between 1 and 3 inches of rain in the foothills and mountain. This could lead to some roadway flooding and shallow debris flows in recent burn scar areas, according to forecasters.

Snow levels are also expected to drop by Thursday to between 3,500 and 4,000 feet. We could get between four and eight inches of snow at the 5,000-foot level, and a little over a foot at the resort levels. There's also a chance of gusty winds in the mountains and deserts.
