The first of two storms in Southern California arrived on Thursday, prompting flood advisories in some areas.
One to three inches of rain is expected with 10 to 20 % chances of thunderstorms on Thursday, according to the National Weather Services.
“While the rain will be quite heavy at times, due to the shorter duration of the event impacts are expected to be relatively minor with mainly typical roadway ponding of water and slick driving conditions and flood advisories should be sufficient to handle this event,” according to the NWS .
“However, with a 10-20 percent chance of thunderstorms, rain rates in very localized areas could be high enough to require a flash flood warning.”
At 8:14 a.m., the NWS issued a flash flood warnings for Long Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, and Lomita until 11:15 a.m.
Hours earlier, just before 5 a.m., flood advisories were put into effect just before 5 a.m. in Los Angeles County until 8 a.m., while Santa Barbara County’s and Ventura County’s were in effect until 5:45 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.
