A rain storm is expected to pass through Southern California starting Thursday afternoon that will last through Friday.

Some areas are expected to receive up to 2 inches of rainfall, with potentially significant episodes of heavy downpour mainly on Thursday night in Ventura and L.A. counties, Carol Smith with the National Weather Service told KPCC. The San Gabriel Mountains are expected to see up to 3 inches. “It’s certainly not a drought-breaker, but it is going to be a good rain event with periods of heavy rain,” Smith said.
