TheAssociatedPress LOS ANGELES Flooded roads and freeways along with low fog and clouds made for a hazardous com- mute Thursday as another round of heavy rain moved through Southern Califor- nia, raising fresh fears of possible mudslides in wild- fire burn areas. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for moun- tain areas east of Los An- geles, where icy conditions wereaccompaniedbystrong winds. Snow — up to a foot in some locations — was ex- pected at elevations as low as 4,000 feet, creating po- tentially dangerous condi- tions in mountain passes. In the valleys, flash flood warnings were in place. Some areas across greater Los Angeles reported nearly an inch of rain in a two- hour span. Downpours were expected through Thursday afternoon. The forecast pre- dicted drier conditions Fri- day and weekend sunshine. Meanwhile Northern Cal- ifornia continued to strug- gle with clogged commutes, flooded roads and water- logged homes after several days of relentless rain. Forecasters said pre- cipitation would continue through Thursday, but the brunt of the back-to-back systems fueled by an "atmo- spheric river" weather phe- nomenon had passed after delivering the heaviest rain in a decade. "Everything is on the way down. Everything will start drying out pretty rap- idly through the afternoon," said Steve Anderson, a me- teorologist at the National Weather Service office in Monterey. Mountains near Big Sur in Monterey County regis- tered more than 34 inches — nearly 3 feet — of rain since Jan. 2, he said. Stormy weather was ex- pected to persist in the Si- erra Nevada mountains, where winter storm warn- ings were posted again, and in the Central Valley, which was under flood warnings or advisories. The massive rain and snowfall that prompted a rare blizzard warning in parts of the Sierra was help- ing much of Northern Cal- ifornia recover from a six- year drought. The series of storms has also added 39 billion gallons of water to Lake Tahoe since Jan. 1. State officials opened more gates on a major dam to allow water to spill from the rain-swollen Sac- ramento River. The gates of the 100-year-old Sacra- mento Weir were opened this week for the first time in a decade to direct water through the Sacramento and Yolo bypasses. The Russian River in So- noma County, which surged to its highest level in a de- cade, was expected to re- cede to below flood levels by Friday. Residents used boats to traverse flooded streets and inside deluged homes. In Los Angeles a mud- slide compromised a con- crete patio on a Laurel Canyon hillside above Hol- lywood Tuesday, city fire spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said. No one was hurt when parts of the pa- tio slid down the hill but a stretch of canyon road re- mained closed. Officials warned resi- dents along Los Angeles- area hillsides scarred by wildfires of the possibility of mudslides. Only minor debris flows were reported.

This will set the stage for a major ice storm as mois- ture flows northward overtop of the cold air. The worst conditions will extend from part of north- western Texas to central Missouri and southern Illinois. A thin coating of ice will extend farther to the east into the nighttime hours. Warmth will hold in the southeastern corner of the nation with some sunshine. Showers and thunderstorms will ramp up over coastal Texas.
