LOS ANGELES—Another substantial storm is due in Southern California Feb. 18, bringing periods of heavy rain, snow and a slight chance of thunderstorms through Wednesday.

Although this system isn’t expected to pack the same punch as the area’s recent record-setting downpours, flood fears are still heightened due to the region’s soaked terrain, prompting Los Angeles city officials to put comprehensive measures in place to manage the effects of the winter storm.
