A slightly larger storm system is expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon, delivering showers of 1 to 3 inches over the coast and 3 to 5 inches over the mountains and valleys.
After scattered showers dampened much of Southern California overnight and into Saturday, cool, dry weather is expected for the remainder of the weekend before another storm system moves in early next week.
About an inch and a half of rain fell over the San Bernardino Mountains on Friday, National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Adams said, asAs of Saturday morning, there were no reports of new damage or flooding and no calls for service or emergencies, according to San Bernardino County Fire Protection District spokesperson Eric Sherwin.
In anticipation of next week’s storm, Sherwin said, the county’s Office of Emergency Services ordered sandbags, and extra fire resources would remain in place in the mountain communities. Below the mountains, other Inland Empire communities including Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga received around an inch of rain, Adams said.Coastline communities received about an inch of rain while a few inland areas received a little over two inches, including Porter Ranch in Los Angeles County.
A rock slide near the Morris Dam Reservoir led to the closure of Highway 39’s northbound lanes on Saturday, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. Crews were working to clear the debris from the road.For the latest closure updates:
