After celebrating a warm and sunny holiday weekend — a jarring juxtaposition with the dangerous snowstorms on the East Coast — Southern California is bracing for heavy rain and a steep drop in temperatures.
The National Weather Service predicts rainfall paired with gusty winds starting Tuesday and lasting through Wednesday, with up to 1.5 inches across the Los Angeles area.
Parts of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties are expected to get the brunt of the storm and could see up to 3 inches of rainfall.
