Get ready, Southern California. The last storm of this year — and perhaps the first of the new year — is headed our way.
Starting Tuesday, there is a good chance for rain to drench Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties almost every day for the next two weeks.
The storm will likely strike San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties late Monday night, the National Weather Service said on Twitter. In those counties, the storm is expected to dump 1 to 3 inches of rain, with more than 4 inches possible in the Santa Lucia Mountains.
The forecast for Tuesday afternoon and evening put the chance of rain at about 90%, with significant chances for rain almost every day after that.
Temperatures are also expected to drop up to 20 degrees from the balmy weather many experienced on Christmas and the day after.
