This week, two storms are expected to bring important rain to Southern California. However, there are worries about how this rain will affect places that have been burned by previous fires.
“We’ll begin on Tuesday night and continue into Wednesday, which will be a rainy day for us.” We will have a bit of a break in the weather on Thursday, and then there will be another weather system moving in on Friday, according to KTLA Meteorologist Henry DiCarlo on Monday morning.
The National Weather Service reports that the first storm will mainly affect San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties, while the second storm will move south of Point Conception.
“Now it depends on how much rain we’ll receive,” said Henry, who is watching an air river in the Pacific.
The first storm mainly affected areas north of us. The Weather Service predicts that Los Angeles County will get between a quarter inch and an inch of rain. However, it’s still uncertain how the atmospheric river will impact the second storm.
The Weather Service is not very sure about when the storm will arrive or how much will come with it on Thursday into Friday.
Henry mentioned that the air river is moving north, so it shouldn’t greatly affect the system.
“On Wednesday, we’ll see the last part of it.” It might stop for a while, but we will still get some rain. Henry said, “We need rain, but we don’t want too much of it.” “The foothills always produce more…” That’s where the higher risk comes in… We have some measurements, and if they go beyond an inch or an inch and a half in certain areas, it could be a problem.
The Weather Service said there is a 5% to 15% chance that the storms will hit the burn scar area.
