Weather Alert: More Rain Expected in SoCal with Incoming Cold Front

(Miamistandard) LOS ANGELES– According to the National Weather Service, a cold front is forecast to bring additional rain to Southern California next week, while the current low-pressure system is expected to bring lower temperatures and dry weather that will persist at least until Thursday.

From Tuesday to Thursday of next week, rain is expected to fall, but the amount of rain that is forecasted to fall—between a quarter of an inch and an inch, and possibly more in higher elevations—will not be the same as the stormy weather that the region saw last weekend.

Lisa Phillips, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, explained to the Los Angeles Times, “The last system was a really cold low-pressure system, and because it was cold, it brought a thunderstorm and convective shower that brought the higher rate of rainfall, which matters for triggering the debris flows.” “This system is warmer, so that is probably not going to be as much of a problem.”

That weather event left many unprepared Southern California motorists in the mountains stranded in the snow, prompted a flash flood warning for parts of Malibu and the Palisades as well as the full closure of Topanga Canyon Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway to Grand View Drive because of mud and debris flows.

According to weather service authorities, there are still a variety of possible outcomes regarding the amount and timing of rainfall for next week. However, they also stated that there is “at least some risk of moderate to heavy totals and intensities.”

According to the National Weather Service, the weather is expected to be warmer from Friday to Sunday, but people who live north of Santa Barbara may encounter some light rain.
