Officials lifted evacuation warnings and orders after an early-season storm caused heavy rainfall and flooding in Southern California.

A storm in California brings a nasty mix of foul weather, including the chances for flash flooding, isolated tornadoes and mudslides.

LOS ANGELES - Cleanup efforts continue in the aftermath of a rare October storm that drenched Southern California. For now, authorities say it appears the Southland has dodged any damaging mud or debris flow from Tuesday’s storm. However, crews continue to monitor recent burn scar zones from January’s wildfires.

Rainfall totals look impressive for an October storm system in California, as it's a bit early in the season for precipitation this heavy. Pockets of 1-3 inches of rain are expected, with isolated totals approaching 4". Rainfall rates and the potential for flooding will likely be highest Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.

Some areas in Northern and Southern California could see a month's worth of rain by Tuesday, while the Sierra braces for several feet of early season snow.

Northern California is set for another soaking of rain and snow as the first storm of the season continues, with Tuesday bringing a larger helping of snow.

The Old Farmer's Almanac and Accuweather have released their forecasts for the holiday season, what will it look like in California?

However, recent years have shown how variable those impacts can be. The 2022-2023 La Niña winter bucked the typical precipitation trend in California. That season, Southern California logged its wettest winter in more than two decades, and the Sierra Nevada ended the season with one of the largest snowpacks on record.

Rain started in Southwest Oregon and far Northern California early Monday morning and continued through the day. Downtown San Francisco recorded 0.87 inch of rain, while San Jose measured 1.52 inches, marking the second wettest October day on record. Northern California will dry out through the day on Tuesday.
