Overview
- National Weather Service guidance shows the Monday–Tuesday system delivering roughly 0.5 to 1 inch for coasts and valleys and 1 to 2 inches in foothills and mountains, with showers tapering by Tuesday evening.
- A following system is projected to arrive Thursday into Friday with light to moderate rain and coastal winds, though timing and totals remain uncertain.
- Storm totals ranged from about 2 to 13 inches across Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties, with daily and monthly records shattered, including Santa Barbara Airport’s wettest November on record at 8.42 inches.
- Multiple desert and inland cities, including Palm Springs, Riverside, Santa Ana and San Diego, broke daily November rainfall records dating to 1965, and Death Valley closed roads after fast-moving floods.
- Officials confirmed two storm-related deaths and continued searching on foot for a missing 5-year-old at Garrapata State Park, as Los Angeles County lifted earlier evacuation orders but flood advisories persisted.
