Rainy Days Ahead: SoCal Prepares for Heavy Rain

SoCal is bracing for a big rainstorm this weekend. Meteorologists expect it to hit Sunday morning and last till Monday afternoon. The wettest part is predicted for Sunday night. This slow-moving storm is coming from Canada and will dump a lot of rain on areas recently hit by wildfires. Experts warn that this could lead to floods and landslides. The mountains of L. A. and Ventura counties could see up to 3 inches of rain, while other areas might get half an inch to 1 inch. Some places like Covina might get over 1.3 inches! Weather services are keeping an eye on the storm's path. They're not sure if it will go more east or west, which could change how much rain falls. Either way, it's important to be ready. They suggest staying away from burned areas, using sandbags to protect property, and stocking up on supplies. This rain is a big deal because SoCal has been really dry. Some areas have only seen 2% of their usual rain this water year, which started in October. Now, it's in either extreme or severe drought.
