Lingering atmospheric river soaks California, threatening more flooding, mudslides
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -A deadly atmospheric river storm lingered over Southern California for a third day on Tuesday, soaking the region with rains that threatened to trigger more flooding and mudslides as the weather system crept toward the Desert Southwest. After a day of record-breaking rainfall across the region, a flood watch for Los Angeles County was extended until early Wednesday. A final but short-lived burst of heavy rain was forecast to douse Southern California again on Wednesday afternoon and evening before showers taper off by the week's end.
