"California's wet winter continued Sunday with the heaviest rain expected in the afternoon and evening, and more rain forecast for Monday before it tapers off Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Los Angeles and Ventura county coastal and valley regions could receive roughly half an inch to an inch more rain, with mountain areas getting one to two additional inches Sunday, officials said. The next two days will be lighter, said Robbie Munroe, a meteorologist at the weather service office in Oxnard."
"Rains in Southern California have broken records this season, with some areas approaching average rain totals for an entire season. As of Sunday morning, the region has seen nearly 14 inches of rain since Oct. 1, more than three times the average 4 inches for this time of year. An average rain season, which goes from July 1 to June 30, is 14.25 inches, officials said."
"The wet weather prompted multiple road closures over the weekend, including a 3.6-mile stretch of Topanga Canyon Boulevard between Pacific Coast Highway and Grand View Drive as well as State Route 33 between Fairview Road and Lockwood Valley Road in the Los Padres National Forest. The California Department of Transportation also closed all lanes along State Route 2 from 3.3 miles east of Newcomb's Ranch to State Route 138 in Angeles National Forest."
Southern California experienced continued heavy winter rain with the heaviest showers expected Sunday afternoon and evening and additional rain forecast for Monday before tapering Tuesday. Coastal and valley areas in Los Angeles and Ventura counties could receive about 0.5 to 1 inch more, while mountain areas may get 1–2 inches. The region has recorded nearly 14 inches of rain since Oct. 1, more than three times the typical 4 inches for this time of year and nearly the full 14.25-inch annual average. Multiple road closures and event cancellations, including at Santa Anita Park, resulted from the wet conditions.
