California Braces for Record-Breaking Rainfall in Upcoming Storms

Another storm is expected to hit Southern California this weekend, with forecasters uncertain about the exact amount of rain it will bring. The National Weather Service predicts between 2 and 5 inches of rain for coastal and valley areas, and 5 to 8 inches for mountains and foothills. Confidence is high that the rain event will occur, but less certain about the amount and timing. The storm follows a recent system that caused flooded roadways and mudslides, with some areas recording nearly 15 inches of rain.
