With a faster storm track, the National Weather Service updates Sunday's L.A. County Flood Watch start time to 10 a.m.
According to the NWS, some moisture from the storm could potentially reach eastern Los Angeles County on Saturday, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and evening that could reach into some valley areas.
With the amount of moisture in the storm system, there is a potential for a"tremendous amount of precipitation," forecasters said, adding that"locally heavy rainfall seems to be a distinct possibility." The NWS issued a flood watch that will be in effect from Sunday afternoon through Monday evening across the entirety of Los Angeles County, noting that"excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations."
The rain is expected to be accompanied by strong winds, although their strength is dependent on the exact path of the storm and its strength by the time it makes landfall. But forecasters said there is a chance of a"wet Santa Ana pattern" of offshore winds as the storm pushes through. Initial forecasts show some areas possibly seeing gusts of up to 60 mph.
