A tornado touched down in a Los Angeles County neighborhood early Thursday morning, a rare event in Southern California. With 85 mph winds, the Oxnard tornado knocked down trees and damaged homes and cars in Pico Rivera at around 3:15 a.

Southern California welcomed a surge of moisture that forecasters say could be the first in a series of early March storms, including a potential atmospheric river.

Southern California is about to get drenched by two storm systems this week. The first system, arriving overnight Monday into Tuesday morning, is expected to bring less than half an inch of rain to most areas of metro Los Angeles.

Los Angeles and Southern California will see periods of rain over the next three days with thunderstorms and even the possibility of weak tornadoes as a storm soaks the region. Rainfall rates will be light to moderate,
