With more than 5 inches of rain in December and counting, Los Angeles played host to yet another winter storm Wednesday that promises to bring even more moisture to the area through New Year’s Eve.
Los Angeles County could see as much as 3 inches of rain along the coasts and valleys and up to 5 inches in the mountains, while areas farther south — including parts of Orange and San Bernardino counties — could get as much as 7 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
