LOS ANGELES — 2023 is off to a wet start in Southern California. Two atmospheric rivers soaked the region in the span of days, bringing with them mass flooding, power outages and downed trees.

While the current storm system had largely moved out of the area by Friday morning, Southland residents are being warned to prepare for even more rain as another system is expected to arrive Sunday night. A powerful punch of rain is possible Monday into Tuesday, forecasters said.

"The strongest storm is forecast for Monday through Tuesday and will likely bring moderate to heavy rainfall, high surf and strong winds again across the region," according to the National Weather Service.
