This recent storm brought a variety of dramatic weather conditions throughout the county, including a major mudslide that completely blocked Malibu Canyon Road which may leave the road closed for several days.
In Rancho Palos Verdes, city officials voted to submit a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency as the rains exacerbate a quick-moving landslide that has caused damage to many structures on the peninsula.
Following the downpour, Los Angeles County beaches were put under a health advisory as high levels of bacteria are expected for at least 72 hours after significant rainfall.
“Bacteria levels can increase significantly during and after rainstorms, as contaminants within the runoff enters the ocean,” according to the LA County Department of Public Health. “Elevated bacteria levels in ocean water may cause illness, especially in children and the elderly.”
A second rainstorm is forecasted to hit the county at the start of next week, with the largest chance of rain being on Monday, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters said there is uncertainty with this storm system and how much rain will fall.
“At this point, it looks fairly certain that there will be measurable rain in most of the forecast area at some point from late Sunday night through Tuesday morning,” the weather service said.
