An unsettled weather pattern is making its way toward the Southland and is expected to bring clouds on Wednesday with rain starting Thursday, persisting intermittently -- perhaps heavy at times -- through the holiday weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

"Cloudy, mild, and tranquil conditions will continue through Wednesday,'' NWS forecasters said. However, the weather service added, "weather conditions will change significantly on Thursday with rain increasing, especially late.''

Heavy rainfall is expected after midnight Thursday night through Friday morning, associated with a moderate to strong atmospheric river,'' according to the NWS.

While that storm is expected to exit the region by Friday evening, another weaker storm from the north will arrive on Christmas Day [Sat., Dec. 25th].
