Angelenos are bracing for more potentially damaging wet weather as another storm is expected to move into the region beginning Sunday evening.
Southern California under a “flood watch”
The rain is anticipated to move in by 7:15 p.m. Sunday, first in Ventura County, then across the region Monday and Tuesday. A flood watch has been issued for the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange and the Inland Empire, taking effect Sunday afternoon through Wednesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, “excessive runoff” is still possible that could overwhelm rivers, streams and other flood-prone locations.
“Our region has seen significant rainfall in recent weeks which puts us at an increased risk of additional mudslides and power outages, so Angelenos, please stay prepared and stay off of the roads during the rain. We know the severe impact that weather can have on our roads and communities, and we are making sure Los Angeles is prepared and informed on behalf of our residents, including the unhoused Angelenos living on our streets, to get through this storm,” Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement Saturday.
