The strongest storm of winter has pushed in southern California – the sun of San Bernardino County

A winter storm, expected to be the strongest in the season so far, began to launch water over southern California overnight in the early Thursday morning, bringing a half-inch to some areas of sunrise and promoted evacuation orders for those in the recent mark of Fire burning areas.

In an update of the prognosis at the beginning of Thursday, meteorologists said it was not the problem, namely common rainfall, but intensity.

“The degree of rainfall is the main concern and because of the increased chance of convective cells, there is a greater likelihood of the speed of rainfall over 1 inch per hour, which would very likely cause significant flows of debris if they appear in a recent burning area,” “” The forecasters wrote in an update from 3 o’clock in the morning.

The heaviest rainfall is expected to hit the Los Angeles area around mid-afternoon on Thursday, forecasts said, about three to six hours earlier than was previously intended.

A strong meteorological system is expected to pass between 4am and 9pm, bring the potential of very heavy rainfall and the potential for heavy flows of debris in scars, said Ariel Cohen of the National Meteorological Service at a morning press conference.

“We will not be sure of significant flows of debris that arise to potentially just before they appear,” Cohen said, “so you are already thinking about the scripts” What happens, “he said.

In the preparation for the storm that led to a flash flood clock from NWS for the greater part of Los Angeles County and in Orange County until Thursday night, employees have issued several evacuation warnings for residents in the last burning areas due to the potential for muddy or streams of streams debris.

These areas include:

• Sunny fiery zone in the Hollywood hills, east and south of the Runian Canyon,

• Airport fire burns a scar in the orange and riverside counties,
• Highland’s district in San Bernardino County, near the scar of fire in 2024 and
• Mt. Baldy and Wrightwood, near the Bridge Fire Burn scar.

By Thursday, some warnings were upgraded to evacuation orders.
