Rain And Snow Eases For Now
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The rains and snows that socked California for a week have eased for now but another storm is on its way.
The National Weather Service said Monday that temperatures have risen slightly across Los Angeles and San Diego counties and showers have eased in the San Francisco Bay area.
A fast-moving storm approaching from the Pacific Northwest is predicted to move into California by Tuesday and is expected to bring rains on Wednesday morning.
Last week, California was deluged with heavy rains that resulted in tens of millions of dollars of damage, according to preliminary estimates.
A state of emergency was declared in 11 counties, including Los Angeles, Orange and Santa Barbara.
There have been two deaths resulting from cars plunging into waterways and several other storm-related traffic fatalities.
