An L.A. Times article posted earlier this week said Southern California is in for the biggest rain-event its had in three years – a storm that could bring 1/4 inch of rain to L.A. County is expected to move into the region on Wednesday night, followed by a bigger storm from Friday through Saturday that could leave up to 2 inches of rain in the city, up to 4 inches in the mountains, and snow above 5000 feet!
This rain won’t get us out of our drought conditions but it will provide some much-needed rain relief to the region – provided that second storm doesn’t drop the rain fast enough to create mudslides on those dry canyon hillsides.
The few days after a winter rainstorm are some of the best times to hike here in Southern California – the skies clear up and you can see farther than you ever thought you could. Right now it looks like Sunday may still be a bit drizzly, but if you’re looking for an excuse to call out from work on Monday, this might be it!
