‘Significant’ Storm System Expected to Bring Heavy Rain to the Antelope Valley
Weather officials are warning Antelope Valley residents to prepare for a “significant” rainstorm moving into Southern California this week. According to City News Service, the incoming system is expected to bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential roadway flooding across Palmdale, Lancaster, Rosamond, and surrounding communities.
The National Weather Service reports that travel on the 14 Freeway and key AV corridors may experience slowdowns due to reduced visibility and slick roads. Local neighborhoods that regularly flood during winter storms are encouraged to prepare early by clearing gutters, securing outdoor items, and checking emergency supplies.
This will be one of the stronger November storms in recent years, marking the start of Southern California’s rainy season. For continuous updates directly from the source, visit City News Service.
Antelope Valley Honors the Final Showing of The AV Wall
After 16 years of service to the region, the AV Wall — a half-scale traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial — made its final public appearance this week. The community gathered in large numbers to pay tribute, reflect, and say goodbye to what has become one of the Antelope Valley’s most meaningful memorials.
The farewell ceremony drew veterans, families, city officials, and local students. Many residents left handwritten letters, flowers, and tokens of remembrance for loved ones whose names appear on the wall. According to reporting from the AV Press, the event was emotional and inspiring, highlighting the deep connection between the AV community and its military families.
Efforts are now underway to explore long-term preservation options so future generations can continue learning from this historical piece. Read full coverage at AVPress.com.
