Desperately dry Southern California to get deluged Friday, most since 2011

Experiencing its driest year on record, large parts of California need well over 15 inches of rain to emerge from severe drought. A vigorous storm crashing into its central coast Friday will supply some much-needed rain, but perhaps too much at once. Forecasters warn strong winds, flash flooding, mud and debris flows, and even a few weak tornadoes may accompany the powerhouse weather system.

The incoming storm may be the largest rain event in Southern California since March 2011 says the National Weather Service.
