A storm that brought more soaking rain to Southern California on Thursday is on the way out, but there will be little break with a conga line of storms set to hit waterlogged California through early next week. Though Southern California had so far avoided major problems, with just flooding on some major roads, the warnings remained in place. One of those is northwest California, where a flood watch is in effect from Friday afternoon through Sunday. Southern California isn’t out of the woods either. An avalanche last Friday killed a ski patroller and left another patroller injured at the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area in the eastern Sierra, according to the resort.
