Rain moves into Southern California on Wednesday, continues through remainder of the week

After enjoying above-average temperatures through Thanksgiving weekend, rain is back in the forecast for Southern California.

“Expect increasing cloud cover and rain to move into Ventura County and northern areas of Los Angeles County Wednesday afternoon,” says KTLA weather anchor Kirk Hawkins. “The precipitation expands to the entire Los Angeles area on Thursday and continues off and on into the weekend.”

Estimated rainfall totals are 1-2 inches in the valleys and coastal areas, with 2-4 inches possible in the mountains.

Snow levels will start at 7,000 feet and eventually drop to around 6,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.

“Major mountain passes are unlikely to see snow,” NWS said. “However, there will likely be winter weather travel conditions in the higher mountains during this time. In addition, due to heavier rain likely in the mountains and foothills, there will be a chance of minor flash flooding and debris flows in recent burn areas.”

Gusty south winds are expected in most area Thursday and Friday with gusts of 25 to 45 miles per hour.
