Southern California Faces Life-Threatening Flood Risks
US · Published Nov 14, 2025
Southern California faces severe flood risks due to heavy rainfall, especially in burn scar areas.
Strong winds and high-elevation snow will create hazardous travel conditions throughout Central and Southern California.
Residents are urged to monitor weather alerts, prepare emergency kits, and have evacuation plans ready.
Life-threatening flood risk in Southern California
Southern California is bracing for life-threatening flood risks as a slow-moving upper-level low along the California coast funnels deep Pacific moisture into the region. Rainfall totals are expected to range from 2 to 5 inches across Southern California, with the Transverse Ranges potentially receiving over 6 inches. This heavy rainfall significantly elevates the risk of flash flooding and debris flows, particularly in areas previously impacted by wildfires, such as burn scar regions within Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties.
