A series of storms is bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, elevated surf, and flood concerns to Southern California this weekend and into early next week, with the highest risks centered on Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and coastal burn areas, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters warn the current storm could produce road flooding, fast-moving creeks and rivers, and debris flows, especially in recent wildfire burn scars, KTLA weathercaster Kacey Montoya said. Evacuation warnings were issued Saturday morning for parts of Pacific Palisades, Topanga, and Malibu as burn-scar areas braced for heavy rain.
