A pair of storms are taking aim for Southern California this week, beginning with a weaker system that’s slated to deliver up to an inch of rain to our region. The Southland is forecasted to receive the remnants of an atmospheric river that’s been drenching Northern California.

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.

After the region was devastated by three massive wildfires last month – the Palisades, Hughes and Eaton fires – crews prepared for potential debris flow in burn scar areas.

Precipitation was lighter than expected on Wednesday, with another storm on the way Thursday night into Friday.

Southern California mountain communities are concerned over land and mudslide dangers as a winter storm arrives this week. Recent burn scar areas pose heightened threats, like the nearly 44,000 acres of scorched land from the Line Fire in San Bernardino County that ignited in September 2024.
