Sierra Madre city leaders issued an evacuation warning​ in anticipation of the upcoming weather event. The warning will be in effect until 6 a.m.

Rain began falling in some coastal areas during the Wednesday morning rush hour, with the system then spreading slowly inland. “Steady rain” lingered in the evening hours into much of Los Angeles County, but overall rain totals were relatively low, according to the National Weather Service.

There will be a dry spell between storms — and get ready for some cooler temperatures until the rain is gone, plus snow in local mountains.
