Los Angeles County is also under a high wind advisory until noon (Pacific) Thursday, where the coastal areas could see 25 mph to 30 mph winds with gusts of 50 mph in canyons and passes, Seto said.Ĭommunities such as Highland in San Bernardino County were flooded again Wednesday because the ground is saturated with rain water, residents told CNN.

The Alaskan front is expected to bring freezing temperatures to the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, which could see 31 degrees on Friday morning, Seto said. No major debris flows (but) there were some little ones," Seto said. "It was a fast-moving storm, so we were lucky. Some of the heaviest rains missed areas prone to mud or rock slides because of prior wildfires, Seto said. Weather specialist Stuart Seto of the National Weather Service said the latest rainstorm, pushed by a cold front out of the Gulf of Alaska, didn't produce major debris or mudslides.

Ice was causing headaches in Arizona and the National Weather Service said additional rains, heavy snow and winds would make the going rough over the next several days for residents in much of the region. The death occurred as a strong and cold storm system from the Gulf of Alaska moved into the West. "It was heavy rain in a short period of time and heavy winds and back-to-back storms."
