As the second storm moved out, Wednesday brought mostly sunny skies and cool temperatures, as crews were tasked with storm cleanup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thursday, Feb. 19<\/p>\n
While the third storm of the week is expected to be the least intense of the series, FOX 11 meteorologist Maria Quiban said it will still make an impact.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re going to get moderate rainfall and then some heavier cells rolling into parts of Ventura and Los Angeles counties beginning around 8 a.m. Thursday,” Quiban said.<\/p>\n
She also warned of heavier rainfall and the potential impact on burn-scarred hillsides.<\/p>\n
“Do not let your guard down,” she said.<\/p>\n
Forecast models show it will be a fast-moving storm pushing east by the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Travel at higher elevations will also be hazardous.<\/p>\n
“If you have to go up there, make sure you bring your emergency gear. We are expecting another foot or more of snow above 6,000 feet. We have those gusty winds, and of course, that\u2019s going to blow you around,” she added.<\/p>\n
How much rain is expected? <\/p>\n
Most areas will see about another half-inch of rain, while elevations above 6,000 feet can expect additional snowfall.<\/p>\n
What’s next:<\/p>\n
Expect sunshine and cooler conditions this weekend. Another possible storm could arrive in California on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
