Rain is expected in Southern California this week as forecasts show the storm heading toward the West Coast

Los Angeles (KABC) — A large storm system is heading toward the West Coast and is expected to bring some rain to Southern California this week.

The Southland region may see light and scattered rain activity from Thursday into Saturday, and by Sunday morning, scattered showers will ease further.

Current forecast models do not indicate any heavy rainfall from this system. Wednesday through Sunday, most areas could see approximately 1-2 inches of total precipitation from this system.

Meanwhile, conditions are expected to be sunny across much of Southern California on Tuesday.
