Flood warnings

Just like the previous storm, the upcoming storm will bring flooding concerns, particularly in the foothills. As much as 8 inches of rain could hit part of Los Angeles and the foothills of Southern California, the National Weather Service said.

Portions of Southern California are under an evacuation warning Sunday as rain fall is set to hit the already rain soaked region.

Warnings for Santa Barbara County went into effect Saturday and will last through Wednesday. The warnings cover burn areas and locations near rivers that are expected to swell with the storm.

Parts of San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties are under flood watches, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm is a continuation of the atmospheric river, which dumped over a foot of rain in Los Angeles. "This system has the potential to bring high impact weather and flooding concerns to the area through Tuesday evening," the NWS said.The storm could bring up to 8 inches of rain in the mountains causing mudslides. The storm is predicted to bring waves of up to 20 feet in Santa Barbara County.

Southern Californians are warned to avoid low-lying areas during the onslaught of the storm early in the week and to prepare for potential power outages, the weather service said.

Conditions will finally dry out Thursday and into next weekend.
