Forecasters Warn of Continued Rain and Flood Risk in Los Angeles After Holiday Storm. After heavy rains over Christmas, more showers and possible thunderstorms are forecast for Los Angeles through Friday. The area remains at risk for flooding, especially where the ground is already saturated. The National Weather Service expects rainfall totals of a quarter to a half inch in coastal and valley areas, with lighter accumulation possible by night as the showers lessen. Meteorologists indicate two additional storm systems will impact the region before conditions improve. (Source: Santa Monica Mirror on Dec 26) Westside Beaches Orange, CA
Shifts in Santa Monica Demographics Linked to Decline in Local School Enrollment. Santa Monica has seen a marked decrease in local school-age children over recent decades, despite a significant increase in housing development. Enrollment in the Santa Monica Unified School District has dropped from 12,000 students in 1990 to about 8,900 today, with a notable portion of current students residing outside the city. Changing demographics, evolving family structures, and economic challenges have all contributed to lower local demand for family-sized housing. This trend may put additional pressure on local schools moving forward. (Source: Santa Monica Mirror on Dec 5) Westside Beaches Santa Monica, CA Culver City, CA
