LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Southern California foothill communities are under flood watch again as the region prepares for a two-day storm that could dump several inches of rain.
The National Weather Service issued storm and flash flood watches through Saturday afternoon for mountains, valleys and some coastal areas, including Los Angeles-area foothills that were burned bare in a wildfire last year.
Crews have been clearing debris-holding basins that filled with boulders and mud during a week of storms last month. The storms killed at least two people and caused tens of millions of dollars in damage, emergency service and cleanup costs.
The new storm could dump three-quarters of an inch to 1.5 inches of rain in valleys and two to four inches in the mountains. Snow and high winds also are possible at higher elevations.
