SoCal began the week with temps in the 90s. Region will see lows in the 60s amid incoming storm

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Days after summer-like temperatures soared into the 90s across Southern California, the region is set to see lows in the 60s by Thursday as an atmospheric river storm moves in, bringing with it moderate-to-heavy rain and the possibility of flooding.

In October, a single storm provided Southern California with more than it's average monthly amount of rainfall.

Could it happen again this month?



The normal amount of November rain for downtown Los Angeles is 0.78 inches. This week's storm is expected to dump 1 to 3 inches of rain on the lower elevations.



Two consecutive months of above-average-rainfall would be welcome in the parched region, especially with a La Niña winter on the horizon. But the possibility of a torrential downpour raises the specter of mudflows and flash flooding, especially in recent burn scar areas.

Thursday's storm is set to arrive just days after Woodland Hills broke the record for its high temperature, climbing to 97 degrees and shattering the previous benchmark of 94 degrees that was set in the 1950s.
