Southern California Overview:
- Widespread heavy rain is expected late this evening into Wednesday across Southern California. After the initial rain band moves from northwest to southeast across the area on Wednesday, scattered locally heavy rain is expected to continue across much of the area into Christmas day. Snow levels will remain high through the duration of the event increasing the flood threat for the mountains, particularly in San Bernardino County. In addition to widespread heavy rain on Wednesday, gusty southerly winds are expected for the coast, valleys, San Bernardino mountains, and High Desert. Another round of more widespread moderate to heavy rain is expected sometime late evening on Thursday into Friday morning. Drier conditions are looking more likely for sometime Saturday and Sunday. We`re monitoring the potential for additional precipitation around New Year but there is still considerable uncertainty in the forecast.
- Strong atmospheric river brings heavy rain, snow, and wind to California through Friday. Moderate to heavy snow continues over New England today; freezing rain possible along the Northern Tier Thursday. Unseasonable warmth forecast for much of the Lower 48 through Christmas Day.
