Part of Los Angeles could see record rainfall as flood alerts span almost all of California

Nearly the entire population of California is under flood alerts Tuesday as the latest round of rainfall soaks the state, prompting road closures, evacuation warnings and some water rescues. In Los Angeles, which faces significant flood threats, part of the city is close to seeing its wettest February ever recorded.

• Over 35 million people under flood alerts: Rain continues to drench much of California on Tuesday, with the heaviest downpours focused on Los Angeles and coastal Southern California. Flood watches in place across parts of Northern California will expire Tuesday morning, but the bulk of the state’s flood alerts last through Wednesday.

• Los Angeles eyes record rainfall: After historic rainfall inundated the city earlier this month, downtown Los Angeles could see its wettest February on record if it picks up 3 inches of rain this week. An additional 1.5 to 3 inches are expected to fall across Los Angeles County, posing a risk of “significant flooding,” the National Weather Service said. Emergency crews are poised to respond in case of power outages, mud and debris flows and blocked roadways, the city said Monday night.

• Flooding shuts down airport and roads: Significant flooding on the tarmac of the Santa Barbara Airport forced it to close until the water can recede, the airport said Monday evening. Several roads across the state are also shut down due to flooding and weather-related conditions, according to the state transportation department.
