Efforts are underway across Southern California to clean up downed trees, flooding and rockslides after days of rain, and the rush is on to get it all done before the next storm moves in.
Conditions will dry up somewhat for the next few days, but more rain is on the way to the region this week.
A chance for spotty, light showers will stick around Tuesday morning and afternoon.
Wednesday is expected to be mostly dry before another system arrives and brings even more showers between Thursday and Friday.
Forecasters said that system could drop another quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rain.
Here's everything you need to know about the stormy weather this week:
After heavy rain over the weekend, rocks and larger debris could be seen on the roadway on Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
Crews were working to clear the road.
Caltrans said it will continue to keep a portion of SR-27 from Pacific Coast Highway to Grand View Drive closed until at least noon on Monday, with more rain in the forecast.
Another low-pressure system is set to bring another round of rain on Monday and Tuesday, but it won't be as heavy as the rain that came down across Southern California this weekend.
Light to moderate rainfall with isolated thunderstorms in some areas is expected around lunchtime on Monday before it makes its way to the Inland Empire in the evening.
The heavy rain will not be as widespread, persistent or intense as the rain that came down over the weekend; however, with the ground now saturated, it won't take as much rain to potentially trigger new rounds of flash flooding, debris flows, mudslides or landslides.
Scattered areas of flash flooding and gusty winds are possible in areas hit by isolated heavy storms.
By Monday evening, the heavy rain will wind down, with scattered showers lingering into Monday night.
This second system will bring anywhere between three-quarters of an inch to about an inch of rain for some areas, depending on where you live.
On Sunday, firefighters in Buena Park rescued a man who was swept away by fast-moving water in a flood channel.
According to the Orange County Fire Authority, the man was stranded on a ledge above the channel he managed to get out of the water.
He had been swept over a mile downstream in the water, authorities said.
"A good Samaritan heard him calling for help and safely dropped a rope to keep him secure until crews arrived," said OCFA in a post on X.
"Our firefighters, including swift water rescue resources pre-positioned for the weather event, quickly brought him to safety using the fire truck's aerial ladder."
The man was rushed to the hospital in stable condition.
A large tree snapped and landed on two moving vehicles in Santa Cruz County, one of which was a California Highway Patrol unit.
It happened around 5:40 p.m. on Thursday along SR-17, just south of Summit Road.
The CHP said the tree collapsed as the officer was heading north and a woman in an Audi was heading south.
"Due to weather conditions, a tree located west of southbound State Route 17 fell and landed on top of both the Audi and the California Highway Patrol vehicle," said the agency in a post on Facebook.
The woman in the Audi was not injured and the officer sustained only minor injuries.
The incident remains under investigation.
