Much-needed rain will return to Los Angeles and Southern California this week.
This will likely bring an end to the stretch of dry days in the Los Angeles area, which has not received measurable precipitation since Nov. 1.
There is the potential for a general 1-2 inches of rain in coastal Southern California, with locally higher amounts to 4 inches or so on the west- and southwest-facing slopes of the mountains.
AccuWeather.com meteorologists believe that some rain will break out over the area Monday night. The combination of the damp conditions and buildup of oil from automobile traffic can lead to slippery driving into Tuesday.
Travel delays are likely to increase and become widespread as Tuesday progresses.

According to AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Carl Erickson, "A powerful storm will bring more widespread and heavier rain to much of California Tuesday into Tuesday night with some rain possibly lasting into Wednesday."
"Overall, this should be a net positive for California."
Along with the benefits from the rain will come the potential for flash flooding and mudslides. The risk of mudslides will be greatest, but not limited to recent burn areas.
