A new atmospheric river will bring a new rainstorm to the Los Angeles area in the middle of the week, forecasters say.

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.

Days after an atmospheric river brought record-setting rainfall to California, the state is in the crosshairs of another rainy storm system.

Another atmospheric river storm is barreling toward the Bay Area this week, bringing “excessive rainfall” that could lead to flooding, the National Weather Service advises. A flood watch is due to take effect Wednesday night and remain in effect through Saturday night,
