“Due to heavier rain likely in the mountains and foothills, there will be a chance of minor flash flooding and shallow debris flows in recent burn areas. Also, there could be rockfall onto mountain roads. Leave additional drive time due to wet, slick roadways and allow extra time for your commute,” according to NWS.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health also issued a cold weather alert for extreme low temperatures in Lancaster, Mount Wilson and Santa Clarita Valley. Starting Monday and Tuesday, these areas were expected to see wind chill temperatures below 32 degrees.
“Children, the elderly, and people with disabilities or special medical needs are especially vulnerable during cold weather.
