Rain Continues For Baldwin Park, More Mountain Snow: NWS

BALDWIN PARK, CA — Another storm system brought southern California more rain Monday, with lighter rainfall possible Tuesday.

If Monday's rainfall turns out to be heavy, " there will be a chance of flash flooding and debris flows in recent burn areas, possible rock and mudslides in steep canyons, and localized flooding of low-lying roadways," warned a National Weather Service statement.

The statement also warned of slick roads and reduced visibility this morning, which could affect the morning commute. Also expected are southwest winds, which, in combination with soil softened in recent rains, could down trees and power lines.

In the San Gabriel Mountains, winds of between 20 and 35 miles per hour are in Monday morning's forecast, along with gusts of between 50 and 55 mph, according the the NWS, which said a wind advisory would remain in force until 9 a.m.

Gusty winds will make mountain driving difficult, especially in high- profile vehicles, with major roadways affected likely to include Interstate 5 and state Routes 2, 14, 33 and 39, according to the NWS.

In the Antelope Valley, where southwest winds of between 20 and 35 mph are expected, along with 55-mph gusts, a wind advisory will be in effect until 9 p.m. Major roadways that could be affected include the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway and Pearblossom (138) Highway, according to the NWS.

The snow level, meanwhile, will remain high, with 1 to 3 inches likely to accumulate between 7,000 and 8,000 feet, according to the NWS. Accumulation of between 3 and 6 inches is possible above 8,000 feet.

The NWS forecast rain in L.A. County Monday and temperature highs of 54 degrees Fahrenheit on Mount Wilson; 56 in Lancaster and San Gabriel; 57 in Palmdale and Saugus; 58 in Pasadena, Burbank and at LAX; 59 in downtown L.A., Long Beach and Woodland Hills. A combination of rain and cloudy skies is expected Tuesday, along with highs in the low 60s.
