"Southern California Braces for Easter Weekend Flooding Threat from Atmospheric River"

Another atmospheric river storm is set to bring heavy rainfall and potential flooding to Southern California, including the Los Angeles area, over the weekend. The storm, fueled by tropical moisture, could bring 1.5-2.5 inches of rain along the coast and up to 3-5 inches in the foothills and mountains, with the potential for flash flooding and severe weather. Roadway flooding, rockslides, and mudslides are expected, while higher elevations will see heavy snowfall. Southern California is expected to dry out early next week, but long-range forecasts indicate another storm approaching the following weekend.
