Heavy rain, floods, and powerful winds are hitting southern California for the second day in a row. This is causing a lot of damage in one of the busiest areas of the US.

There will be a lot of rain around Los Angeles, up to 1 inch (2. 54cm) an hour, for at least 24 hours starting on Monday.

The big storms are bringing a lot of rain, wind, and snow to parts of the state.

A serious situation has been announced in 10 counties of the state.

Experts say there will be heavy rain in California on Monday.

The Weather Prediction Service gave a high-level warning for heavy rain in southern California on Sunday.

The WPC warned that very dangerous flash floods could happen in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. The report said that there could be mudslides and debris flows.

The center said that there will be a lot of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and it will be very hard to travel there.

The NWS warned that very strong winds could cause more power cuts and trees to fall, but the winds will calm down by Monday night.

Big, steep waves could make the areas near the coast very unsafe, it said.

On Sunday, planes couldn’t fly from Santa Barbara Airport and people stuck in their cars because of flooding in Los Angeles had to be saved by rescuers.

Many people lost electricity because the storm damaged power lines.

Officials in Orange County said that some areas may need to evacuate soon, and the order could happen very quickly.

The storm is happening because of lots of wet air moving through the sky.

Atmospheric rivers are like long streams of water in the sky that are carried by the wind.

Last week, a big storm hit California. The new round of bad weather is happening because of another storm.

Governor Gavin Newsom announced a state of emergency in eight counties, including Los Angeles and Orange. He said that the storm is very serious and could be dangerous and life-threatening.

California has lots of emergency resources ready to help with the storm’s effects. ”

Two more states have said they are in a state of emergency.

The NWS said Monday’s weather would be very dramatic and memorable.

NWS experts told people in areas at risk to listen to evacuation orders, avoid driving on freeways, and get ready for possible power outages.
