Days after an atmospheric river brought record-setting rainfall to California, the state is in the crosshairs of another rainy storm system.

A major atmospheric river storm is barreling toward California, raising the specter of damaging landslides and flooding across much of the Southland.

At atmospheric river continues to slam portions of California Tuesday, with multiple inches of rain expected until Wednesday morning.

It could rain for many hours each day in the middle of next week as the edge of one of these storms takes a swing into Southern California, forecasters say.

This atmospheric river has brought heavy rain, flooding and strong wind gusts to Northern California. Wind gusts of 87 mph were reported north of San Francisco as well.

Forecasters believe there's little risk that the rains expected next week will trigger debris flows and mudslides in Southern California's recent burn areas.
