Heavy rainfall is expected to hit Los Angeles. Localized flooding may occur as a result of the rain, which is much-needed, but there is a chance the rain will be intense early Friday.
Heavy rains pummeled southwest France overnight, causing rivers to exceed their banks and prompting the evacuation of dozens of people. As a result of recent warm southern winds, snowbanks have liquefied in the Pyrenees mountains, which has also contributed to the floods that might last for several days.
