After a round of storms earlier this month, Southern California is in again for another period of wet weather.
Updated projections from the National Weather Service indicate local coastal and valley communities could see two to four inches of rain. Mountain and foothill communities could see anywhere from four to eight inches.
Per NWS, the strongest storms will hit the area Monday after the system begins to roll in Sunday night. A graphic released by forecasters shows that San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties will all experience rain; the graphic indicates there is a 20-40% chance of thunderstorms throughout the day Monday.
It is also projected to rain on Tuesday and Wednesday for many SoCal communities.

In addition to the precipitation, widespread winds of 60 miles per hour are in the forecast. Other impacts include possible weak tornadoes, potential flooding and debris flows; residents of some SoCal communities are already being advised to prepare to evacuate.

Snow will fall at higher elevations, with heavy snowfall forecasted above 6,000 feet. Snow could fall as low as 3,000 feet, NWS says.
“A powerful storm system will affect the region starting Monday, bringing the potential for severe thunderstorms, burn- scar debris flows, flash flooding with rock and mud slides, damaging winds, heavy mountain snow, and high surf with coastal flooding,” the National Weather Service said of the incoming storm in their area forecast discussion. “Cold and blustery conditions with periodic rain will occur through at least the middle of this coming week.”
