An atmospheric river will bring rainfall to Orange County for several days in a row this week, according to the National Weather Service.

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."
