LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California is experiencing one of the wettest storms in its history, with record-breaking rainfall causing significant flooding and raising concerns about landslides. While the rainfall is expected to ease off on Tuesday, forecasters are urging residents to remain vigilant as floods and potentially deadly landslides are still possible.

The slow-moving storm arrived in the region on Monday, drenching parts of Los Angeles with unprecedented amounts of rain. The National Weather Service predicts that the storm may linger until Wednesday, bringing light to moderate rain, scattered showers, and the possibility of thunderstorms. Some areas could experience brief yet fierce downpours, with rainfall ranging from half an inch to an inch (1.3 to 3 centimeters) per hour.
