LOS ANGELES - Another surge of rain is battering Southern California on Friday, with a high potential for flooding, after record rainfall drenched the area on Christmas Eve.
Record-breaking rainfall
What we know:
Forecasters said another 2 to 5 inches of rain are likely to fall in the mountains during the second wave, but other areas should receive less than 2 inches, unless isolated thunderstorms develop with heavy rains.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's office and Los Angeles County both issued emergency proclamations due to the storm, freeing up added resources.
