AccuWeather is predicting 3 to 4 inches of rain, but it’s likely that number will increase in the mountain areas, which could lead to mudslides and flooding in foothill communities near the burn areas from the Station fire.
Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey identified Pacoima Canyon, Big Tujunga Canyon, the Arroyo Seco, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River and Devils Canyon as being most at risk of mudslides.
Under certain conditions, mud flows could occur as far south as Foothill Boulevard in La Cañada Flintridge and La Crescenta, federal scientists said in a report.
3 to 4 inches?
Ern, you don't sound very confident in the forecast ;)
Monday night into Tuesday will also be full of interest. In addition to the strong northerly winds...moisture will bank up on the northern mountains and foothills. With snow levels plummeting to fairly rare levels of 2000 feet and below...even the Antelope...slow and Cuyama valleys could wake up to a white Tuesday. Snow advisories may be needed for those areas.
