Check out this radar. The heaviest rain is just starting to affect the area, as I predicted in earlier posts. If you are located on the south or southwestward side of a mountain, expect even heavier rains in your location due to orographic lifting. In this radar image, you can almost see where the mountains are located by tracing the yellow radar echoes from Santa Barbara to north of Burbank. The rain is heavier in these locations because of the air being forced to rise over the mountains. From this point on, the rain intensity in Los Angeles is going to be picking up. Furthermore, expect winds to increase in speed. I am expecting 25 mph winds, with the occasional gust to 40 or 50 mph. My current forecast looks right on track.
