A rare tornado warning was issued for Los Angeles on Tuesday as a storm slammed into southern California, dumping heavy rain and snow across the region and leaving thousands of homes without power.
National Weather Service meteorologists said a strong storm moving in from the Pacific Ocean and packing winds of about 95 km/h had triggered the alert, which was cancelled about 2pm local time (0900 AEDT Wednesday).
The storm rolling into southern California on Tuesday followed a similar weather front which deluged the region 24 hours earlier.
Authorities placed hillside communities on alert for flash flooding and mudslides, a major concern in regions affected by raging wildfires last year.
Tuesday's storm was one of a series of wet weather fronts forecast to hit southern California this week, which are expected to drop as much as 400 millimetres of rain in some areas.
Local power companies reported on Tuesday that engineers were working to restore power to nearly 17,000 customers suffering outages because of the weather.
