Several areas in Southern California could have scattered showers throughout the day, but the potential for "damaging flooding" will not increase until the evening to overnight hours.

The storm is expected to dump 1 to 2 inches of rain along the coast and up to 4 inches in the valleys at rates that could cause problems. Some roads will be closed starting Wednesday.

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.
