Groundskeeper Manuel Nava leaps over a flooded area of Pacific Coast Highway while working in the rain in Sunset Beach in early January. A fast-moving storm drenched Los Angeles overnight and triggered a flash flood warning in a local burn scar Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. AdvertisementBy 6 a.m. Wednesday, the storm was flowing east at about 15 mph and was exiting Los Angeles County hours earlier than initially expected. “It moved faster than anticipated, which did result in a little bit higher rainfall rates,” said Ryan Kittell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. The rain is expected to continue on and off across the Southland before tapering off in the afternoon, according to a weather service forecast.
