Brace! Here Comes The Rain Again
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) -- As Los Angeles dries out from the soaking it got yesterday, meteorologists warn there is more rain on the horizon.
And weather observers say the rain yesterday is going to pale in comparison to what is expected to show up late Saturday into early Sunday. Oh, and did we mention it's also supposed to rain late Friday into Saturday?
This is, of course, not good for the residents of the burn areas where mudslides remain a distinct possibility.
