The first storm from the tail end of an atmospheric river brought light to moderate rain throughout the Los Angeles area. A second storm is already making its way toward the region. The National Weather Service said the first storm system underperformed across most of the area.

An atmospheric river has made its way to Southern California, bringing rain to the region. With rain soaking Los Angeles County on Wednesday, areas badly hit by the Jan. 2025 wildfires must brace for possible flooding and mudslides.

The wet weather will bring relief to Southern California after a prolonged period of dryness, but there’s concern that any bursts of heavy rainfall could cause flooding.
