Another round of rain expected in SoCal as incoming cold front moves in
Weather Forecast for Friday, Jan. 31
The latest forecast for the greater Los Angeles area, including beaches, valleys and desert regions.
LOS ANGELES - An incoming cold front moving into the region is expected to bring another round of rain to Southern California next week, according to the National Weather Service.
"Best early estimates are for light to moderate rain, with a very low risk for debris flows," the NWS said.
There is "increased confidence" the storm will hit Tuesday through Thursday, and "lowered chances" of higher rainfall totals during that same time frame. The brunt of the storm is forecast for Wednesday.
"Best guess rainfall amounts have increased some, with two-day totals now forecast to be near a half-inch and perhaps near an inch across some coastal slopes of Santa Barbara and western Ventura counties," officials said.
There will be little, or no snow expected locally below 8,000 feet because this is expected to be a much warmer storm, the NWS said.
After weeks of critical fire weather, this is the second storm of the winter to hit Southern California, bringing widespread rain and mountain snow to the region.
Residents in the Palisades and Eaton burn scar areas were preparing for heavy rain and taking precautions as they begin the rebuilding process.
