"California Braces for Increased Flood and Mudslide Risks with Approaching Storm"

After a brief respite from a record-setting storm system, Southern California is bracing for more rain and flood risks as another storm is expected to arrive Wednesday afternoon, bringing a greater risk of floods and mudslides due to saturated ground. The recent historic atmospheric river storm caused hundreds of mudslides, filled the Los Angeles River, and killed at least three people. The upcoming system will bring rain and snow across the Four Corners region with less intensity, while parts of Arizona and Nevada, including major cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix, are under flood warnings.
