With more than 5 inches of rain in December, Los Angeles hosted another winter storm on Wednesday that promises to bring even more moisture to the area by New Year’s Eve.
Los Angeles County could see up to 5 inches of rain along the coasts and valleys and up to 5 inches in the mountains, while areas further south – including portions of Orange and San Bernardino counties – could see up to 7 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service.
