As for rain totals for the current storm, Los Angeles County could see 1.5 to 3.5 inches of rain, with 2 to 5 inches possible in the foothills and mountains, although the largest rainfall totals are likely to occur in Ventura County. The Valleys and Inland Empire is expected to see around 2 to 3 inches of rain. The local mountains could get 10 to 20 inches of snow at the 8,000-foot elevation level.
Whenever persistent rain is in the forecast, fears are raised about possible mudslides.
"With the potential of this event, the area may approach critical thresholds for mud and debris flows in and around the recent burn areas,'' according to the NWS.
The region could see flood warnings posted as the storm moves closer, and residents in flood-prone areas will likely be urged to be prepared to evacuate at a moment's notice.
