The state of California has been experiencing one of its wettest Februarys on record as flood, mudslide, and new storm warnings continue to be issued for this week.

The Golden State continues to be under the threat of flooding as an atmospheric river moving through the region is pounding the coast with landslides and floods. 

Significant damage is expected this week as heavy rains are forecast to douse much of northern California today and southern California into Wednesday.

Predictions of another storm occurring on either Saturday night, Sunday or Monday have also been made.

Los Angeles County could receive three to five inches of rain in the mountains and foothills by the end of tomorrow's storm, the National Weather Service said. 

As of now, downtown Los Angeles has already received 12 inches of downpour this month itself, which is three inches more than the area's average for a full year. 

The new storm is expected to bring in another half an inch of rain to the area.

Ventura County is forecasted to receive two to four inches of rain while Santa Barbara County could receive one to two inches in the mountains and foothills by Wednesday.

Wind gusts are predicted to reach 30 to 50 mph in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

The NWS has also issued f​lood watches for the Bay Area, Sacramento, Fresno and San Diego for this week. 

Officials have also said that flooding and landslides remain a concern and debris flows are possible over areas recently burned by wildfires.

Ryan Kittell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard explained: 'This is one of the wetter Februarys on record. It's been an incredibly wet month.

'In normal winters where we haven't had as much rain, this type of rainfall doesn't cause that much [of an] issue because the ground can still absorb water. 

'But once the ground becomes completely saturated, flooding can occur really easily and the earth can start to move, either with mud or rockslides.'

Today's storm has already knocked down trees, wiped away cars and put hundreds of homes at risk of destruction in Rancho Palos Verdes as the rain and mudslides cracked the road open as the hillside is shifting at a rapid rate. 

Mayor John Cruikshank has asked Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency specifically for Rancho Palos Verdes.

'You can definitely see the cracks getting deeper very quickly,' resident Stephanie Streisand told KTLA about the crumbling roads in the area

'I've been traveling over this road for over 55 years, since I was a young child, and I've never seen it like this. In particular in the last few months.'
