As of Noon, March 27, the National Weather Service-Los Angeles holds these near-term projections, as they apply to LA City and nearby County areas:
"Rain and mountain snow, with a slight chance of thunderstorms, will move into southern areas Saturday, along with the possibility of gusty southerly winds. The threat of brief heavy downpours causing minor flooding and small hail will shift south into (LA City). Roadway flooding will be a particular hazard on Saturday and Sunday."
Report storm damage to public spaces (fallen trees, downed wires, potholes, street flooding, mudslides, etc.) to LA City's 311 Call Center and connect to a wide variety of non-emergency City services and general information.
Service requests during weather emergencies may be made by calling 311 (or 213-473-3231), visiting LACity.gov/MyLA311, or using the MyLA311 mobile app.
And always call 911 for life-threatening issues.
Sizeable storms are now an LA City "thing" . . . so, expect MORE rain, and prepare!

Ongoing Rainstorm Road Closures
Benedict Canyon Road Closed to Through Traffic
There is now NO through-access on a northern portion of Benedict Canyon Road (~3000 block) near Mulholland Drive due to bulkhead erosion (see map). A "soft closure" continues south to Hutton Drive with local-resident access only. An alternate is Deep Canyon Drive.
Stretch of Mulholland to Remain Closed
Due to severe road damage -- at four locations -- a portion of Mulholland Drive has been closed to through traffic between Skyline Drive and Bowmont Drive (see map). Most recent estimates are that repairs and structural rebuilding will require the road to remain closed until some time in May.
Signs of a Slide
Listen AND watch for other signs: mud buildup at the base of hills, widening cracks in outside walls or paved areas, sticking doors, broken utility lines, and pooling ground water.
