The next storm to hit the Southland will make itself felt Thursday, the National Weather Service said.
LOS ANGELES, CA -- The Southland’s third storm this week is largely gone Friday, having generated more rain than had been expected, and a warning of treacherous conditions in the San Gabriel Mountains was lifted six hours earlier than scheduled, although snow flurries are possible this afternoon, a National Weather Service forecaster said.
The next storm to hit the Southland will make itself felt Thursday, added NWS meteorologist Curt Kaplan in a telephone interview from his monitoring station in Oxnard.
“It’s pretty much over,” he said, although there could be a few showers Friday, along with snow flurries in the mountains.
