A powerful new storm was pushing ashore this morning as officials prepared for more mudslides and coastal flooding.
According to the National Weather Service, today's storm -- the third in as many days -- is expected to dump 1 to 2 inches of rain in the L.A. basin and valley areas and 3 to 4 inches in foothill and mountain areas.
The brunt of the storm is supposed to hit around noon.
Officials issued a flash flood watch and thunderstorm warning for the region, forecasting sustained rainfall and fierce winds. Forecasters say the strongest drenching could occur Thursday, with up to 3 inches of rain and the possible return of tornado-like conditions.

Based on radar obs...I would bet the NWS will put out a Flash Flood Warning within the next hour or two for the Station Fire.

there is more to it. there is a distinct shift in the weather pattern going on now.
I have been away from weather for a while now, but the patterns we have had since late summer to now are shifting again. To me, I am thinking an early spring with a cool summer.
We get the same storm tomorrow in Las Vegas. Leave some fun for us!
Don’t forget us folks in Georgia, we get tornadoes tomorrow.
