LOS ANGELES — New storms are set to hit Southern California this holiday weekend, further drenching the region and bringing the risk of coastal flooding, especially during times of high tide.
The rains are expected to hit Saturday morning and continue through Monday night or Tuesday morning.
On Saturday, the National Weather Service for L.A., Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties said to expect “minor roadway ponding” and “moderate to brief heavy rain, leading to minor urban and small creek flooding.” Rock slides are possible in canyons and steep hillsides, but meteorologists expect a minimal threat of flooding from mainstem rivers.
