SEAL BEACH, CA — Two rain storms are forecast to hit Seal Beach this week, bringing light to moderate rain amounts of rain, according to the National Weather Service.

Rainfall is expected to arrive as early as Tuesday, but forecasters aren't predicting heavy downpour. More impactful rain is expected to arrive on Thursday into Friday, the National Weather Service said.

Early estimates for rainfall totals predict about an inch in coastal and valley regions and two to three inches in the foothills and mountains. Forecasters believe there is little risk that rain totals will be enough to cause debris flow in the burn scar areas.
