California is set to be drenched in coming days as heavy rain and snowstorms uncoil off the Pacific Ocean, potentially bringing Los Angeles a month’s worth of rain and prompting evacuation warnings in areas burned by last January’s fires.
The first round of rain will arrive starting Thursday and continue through Saturday, said Bob Oravec, a senior branch forecaster with the U.S. Weather Prediction Center. After a brief lull another wave will arrive Sunday into Monday and finally a third coming next week.
The storms raise the risk of flooding and landslides, he said.
