A major atmospheric river is moving into Southern California on Tuesday, bringing heavy rain through Christmas morning and lingering showers into the weekend.
Rainfall totals are forecast to range from 3 to 4 inches in most areas, according to the National Weather Service. “Rain will begin Tuesday in most areas with periods of heavy rain Tuesday night and Wednesday, as well as very strong winds,” the agency said in its daily update.
The storm could also bring flooding risks in low-lying areas and near wildfire burn scars, including the Pacific Palisades and Altadena, where mudslides are possible, forecasters warn.
