Winter Storm in US (watch Video)

US – Meteorologists have warned of possible flash flooding and debris flows in the burn scars of the Colorado and River wildfires in Northern California, as heavy rainfall continues to be observed in the area.

A flash flood watch has been issued through Tuesday afternoon, and between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall is expected in the Los Angeles area’s coast and valleys by Wednesday, with up to 5 inches in the foothills and mountains. Thunderstorms are also anticipated to last into the evening on Tuesday.

Despite hopes that the precipitation could help alleviate the drought and moderate wildfire season in California, the rain has posed its own problems, leading to mandatory evacuation orders in some areas.
