A dire situation continues to unfold in California as a deadly atmospheric river storm slams the state with torrential rain, destructive wind gusts and catastrophic flash flooding.
Southern California, including downtown Los Angeles, was in the bull’s-eye where forecasters believe the risk of flooding is highest. NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center (WPC) placed about 14 million people in the area under a rare “high risk” of flash flooding on Monday.
The WPC noted the ongoing situation will continue to produce locally catastrophic flash and urban flooding in the Los Angeles area through Tuesday.
Los Angeles picked up 4.10 inches of rain on Sunday, which far exceeded the daily rainfall record for that date set in 1927, which was 2.55 inches. It’s also more rain than the city averages for February, which is 3.64 inches.
