  • ‘Winter-like storm’ could hit Southern California late Monday through Wednesday

    A “winter-like” storm will sweep across Southern California late Monday into Wednesday, bringing the chance of “significant” rainfall, the National Weather Service said Sunday.

    Most of the rain is expected to occur Monday night through Tuesday afternoon, potentially creating a headache for commuters.

    Rainfall totals during that time could range from three-quarters of an inch to 1½ inches, said Richard Thompson, meteorologist for the weather service. Mountain and foothill areas could see up to 3½ inches of rain.

    Rainfall rates could be half an inch or more per hour, leading the weather service to put burn areas on flood watch from Monday night to Tuesday afternoon, he said.

    There’s also a chance of thunderstorms and strong and gusty winds.

    Though it is early in the season, it’s not unheard of to get a storm or two in October, Thompson said.

    “Usually our Octobers are dry,” he said, “but we do get storms from time to time.”

    The early-season-storm forecast coincides with the official return of La Niña, a climate pattern usually responsible for driving drought in Southern California.

    The reemergence of the ocean phenomenon — after last year’s rainfall was below average — could mean another drier-than-average winter, further worsening fire conditions in the region.

  • Woman found dead in trash can in Costa Mesa, was killed by a friend, police say

    Woman found dead in trash can in Costa Mesa, was killed by a friend, police say

    A 38-year-old woman was found dead in a backyard trash can in Costa Mesa on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

    A man was arrested in Glendale on suspicion of murder. Police said he was a friend of the woman.

    The victim, whose identity was not released pending notification of her family, was found around 2:27 p.m. at a home in the 1900 block of Maple Avenue, according to a news release.

    As Costa Mesa police conducted an investigation Tuesday, the home was cordoned off with crime scene tape. In interviews, neighbors described the area as safe and the incident as shocking.

    “Never a problem, never had any type of violence or anything like that, any disturbance,” said a neighbor who gave only her first name, Sherri.

    No further details were available.

    Anyone who may have additional information is asked to call Det. K. Moore at (714) 754-4986.
