How long will the rain stick around?
Southern California will stay drenched for a while longer.
The region can expect another round of rain through Friday morning, but the storm will become more scattered as the storm slowly moves out.
Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California can expect even more rain in the forecast Friday.
The rain is expected to start breaking by about 6 a.m. and continue to dwindle down by the afternoon, leaving behind partly cloudy skies.
However, that doesn't mean the stray shower won't stick around.
Early Saturday morning, light wrap-around showers are possible for more eastern areas like the low desert and some mountain communities.
