A powerful new storm was pushing ashore this morning as officials prepared for more mudslides and coastal flooding.

According to the National Weather Service, today's storm -- the third in as many days -- is expected to dump 1 to 2 inches of rain in the L.A. basin and valley areas and 3 to 4 inches in foothill and mountain areas.

The brunt of the storm is supposed to hit around noon.

Officials issued a flash flood watch and thunderstorm warning for the region, forecasting sustained rainfall and fierce winds. Forecasters say the strongest drenching could occur Thursday, with up to 3 inches of rain and the possible return of tornado-like conditions.

Based on radar obs...I would bet the NWS will put out a Flash Flood Warning within the next hour or two for the Station Fire.

there is more to it. there is a distinct shift in the weather pattern going on now.

I have been away from weather for a while now, but the patterns we have had since late summer to now are shifting again. To me, I am thinking an early spring with a cool summer.

“prepared for more mudslides and coastal flooding.”

Anyone remember an old story called “The Three Little Pigs”?

wow. I just got back from picking up my daughter in Long Beach. I’ve never seen it rain so hard here. Many of the streets literally had two feet of water. Storm drains are overwhelmed.
