Another round of rain is drenching Southern California, bringing with it a high chance for more flooding.
It’s the latest punch from a storm that’s soaked the region for the last few days, leaving behind flooded roads, downed trees and a muddy mess in some communities.
Some at-risk communities are still under evacuation warnings, and the wet weather will stick around through Friday.

Angeles Crest Highway north of La Cañada Flintridge shut down
The Angeles Crest Highway just north of La Cañada Flintridge to the Clear Creek Information Station has been shut down due to hazardous conditions, the sheriff’s department said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Crescenta Valley Station shared a post on X, asking drivers to avoid the area.
“Motorists are advised to avoid the area and plan alternate routes,” the agency wrote. “Road conditions can change rapidly, and attempting to bypass closures puts both motorists and first responders at risk.”

California working to capture rain for future water supply
California is working to capture as much storm as possible.
The winter season is a critical time of year for collecting and storing water to get us through the drier months.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office says last month’s storms generated enough water to supply tens of thousands of households in Los Angeles alone.
And reservoirs across the state still have room for the rain we’re getting now. Lake Oroville’s storage is at 54% capacity.
