A storm from Canada brought showers to Southern California and triggered winter weather during early spring in the San Gabriel Mountains.
In addition to this morning's on-and-off showers, there's a chance of showers Monday.
"The heaviest has moved off, but we're still seeing scattered showers," said NBC4 forecaster Shanna Mendiola.
Most of the rainfall should be done by the afternoon.
Sunday's steady rainfall led to mudslide in the hills above Sherman Oaks. Mud flowed over a wall and damaged a home.
Parts of Santa Barbara County recorded nearly 3 inches of rain during a 24 hour period. A record 1.73 inches fell at Los Angeles International Airport, topping the previous mark of .82 inches.
Rainfall Records
- Downtown LA: 1.51 inches breaks the old record of 1.11" set in 1975
- LAX: 1.73 inches breaks the old record of 0.82" set in 2005
- Lancaster: 0.52 inches breaks the old record of 0.41" in 1958
- Palmdale: 0.45" inches breaks the old record 0.43" in 2008
Tuesday should be mostly dry, ahead of another system Wednesday night into Thursday. That system could drop snow on The Grapevine Thursday morning, but snow will not affect the 5 Freeway north of Los Angeles.
