Mother Nature is being generous with wet weather as two more storms are forecast to take aim for the Southland in the coming week.
A system that arrived Friday drenched Southern California on Saturday, with showers expected to linger into early Sunday. Residents in the region shouldn’t put their jackets and umbrellas away after the weekend, though, since the brief break of rain will be interrupted by a second system that’s slated to douse the Southland in the beginning of the work week.
“This system that’s been bringing all of this chaos is going to move on out, and I’d like to keep it away as long as we can, but we’ve got another low-pressure system,” NBC4 Meteorologist Kelley Moody said. “This is No. 2 that is set to come on in and make a little bit of a mess for the Monday morning commute.
The second storm is expected to creep into Ventura County around 6 a.m. Monday, then travel southeast and reach Los Angeles and Orange Counties around 10 a.m.
“Timing could change with this but as of now, it looks to arrive during that morning commute,” Moody warned.
Drivers are urged to take extra caution behind the wheel during inclement weather. Slower speeds during travel are recommended during weather events.
Monday’s storm is forecast to taper off with lingering showers on Tuesday, but a third system is expected to follow soon after.
“After that, that heads out, No. 3,” Moody said. “This one is set to arrive as we look toward the later half of this upcoming week.”
It’s unclear when exactly the third storm may arrive or how powerful it could be.
“We’ve got a lot ahead of us and of course, we’ll have to continue to track conditions as we look ahead of Thanksgiving,” Moody said.
