"Southern California Braces for Life-Threatening Flood Potential from Powerful Storms"

Meteorologists are warning Southern Californians to prepare for potentially life-threatening flooding as a powerful atmospheric river-fueled storm is set to bring heavy rain and flooding from late Saturday into next week, following record rainfall from an earlier storm. The National Weather Service in Los Angeles is urging residents to prepare for possible evacuations, with forecasts predicting widespread rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches and up to a foot of rain in mountain and foothill areas. The storm could also bring treacherous mountain travel and up to 4 feet of snowfall in the Sierra Nevada, with the potential for damaging and life-threatening flooding across the region.
