ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Bring out those sandbags, Orange County: days of rain are projected to hit your town starting Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service.
The showers are a part of an atmospheric river bringing rainfall to the brunt of Southern California.
"Potential atmospheric river activity could bring enhanced moisture to much of the West Coast during mid-November," National Weather Service representatives told KTLA. "Strong surface low pressure just north of the region could also likely drive high winds along the immediate coastline."
In Orange County, here's what residents can expect throughout the week:
On Wednesday, Orange County residents will enjoy a sunny, warm day with temperatures ranging from 84 degrees to 87 degrees.
Thursday will be slightly cooler, forecasters said. Rains may happen overnight Thursday, but will likely start Friday night, according to the service.
Rain showers were predicted in Orange County for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, according to the service.
The predicted rain follows a Coastal Flood Advisory, which impacted all coastal Orange County towns Monday and Tuesday, bringing higher-than-usual tides and localized flooding.
