A second
winter storm brought heavy rain to Southern California on Friday night into Christmas
Eve, flooding streets across the region and triggering flash flood warnings
for
recent burn areas.
A
"substantial" storm front will continue through the evening and into
Saturday morning, said NBC4 Forecaster Fritz Coleman. Moderate to heavy rain will
hit the region, with a possibility of thunderstorms.
According to
the National Weather Service, heavy rainfall in the Fish and Resevoir burn
areas triggered a Flash Flood warning that would be in effect until 1 a.m.
Vehicles
were stranded due to heavy street flooding. Los Angeles firefighters pushed one
vehicle out of the water and an engine pulled out another car to safety Friday
night in South Los Angeles.
"A
large part of the story will be lots of snow," Coleman said. Eight to 16
inches could fall to resort level and above. There could be some accumulation
as low as 3,000 to 4,000 feet in the cold hours of Saturday morning.
Most of the
storm should be over by Christmas Eve morning. Christmas Day will be dry,
partly cloudy and cool.
