LOS ANGELES (AP) — The third storm in just over a week drenched Southern California and prompted some local flooding but caused no major widespread damage before heading east over the mountains and south toward Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. Residents on Friday morning were warned of flash flooding and possible mudslides in several parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties. The National Weather Service’s most recent warning covered areas including downtown Los Angeles and coastal Huntington Beach. A potent atmospheric river is blamed for causing at least six deaths earlier this month. Heavy rains also threaten to bring mudslides in areas recently ravaged by wildfire.
