The effects of the so-called bomb cyclone storm on Southern California will be less dramatic compared with the north, weather forecasters say.

An atmospheric river storm that dumped record rain in Northern California will bring some precipitation to Southern California.

A third winter storm is on its way to California, with forecasts anticipating that it will hit the Golden State on Friday, only days after a bomb cyclone unleashed hurricane-force winds across the Pacific Northwest and an atmospheric river brought a deluge of rain and snow.
