Santa Clarita residents should expect the rainy weather to slightly lighten up on Tuesday night through Wednesday morning with about three-quarters of an inch of rain anticipated, according to National Weather Service officials.
However, there is a slight chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday afternoon into early Tuesday evening, according to Joe Sirard, meteorologist with NWS.
Gusty winds ranging from 30 to 40 mph are expected from Tuesday to Wednesday, Sirard said.
Late Wednesday to Thursday, there is a slight chance of rain with about a quarter to half an inch of rain, according to Sirard.
Friday through Sunday should be relatively dry weather, with Friday being cooler at about 60 degrees, Sirard added.
Sirard said that there are warmer temperatures expected on Sunday with the highest being in the mid 60s. By Monday, it could warm up to the upper 60s.
Over the weekend, the forecast is “partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers,” according to Sirard.
For residents affected by burn scars, there is potential for some issues like debris flow and mud on Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. Sirard advises that people should stay aware and look closely at weather updates in case things change.
There is not much concern for the burn scars after that, Sirard added.
Flooding is expected across the valley, so Sirard says to drive safely, slow down, give extra room between cars and leave for destinations earlier.
On Monday, afternoon, a water rescue was reported, according to Jonathan Torres, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The incident was reported at Meadview Avenue and Placeritos Boulevard around 2:42 p.m., Torres said.
Multiple units were dispatched to the scene at 2:44 p.m., but soon after arrival, almost all units were cancelled, Torres said.
Around 2:50 p.m., first responders reported a vehicle stuck in 1 foot of water and immediately extricated one person, Torres added.
There were no transports and the call was closed at 3:04 p.m., according to Torres.
