The weather provided relief for crews working to contain wildfires, though rain over a burn area ups the chances of flooding and mudslides

There is a 10% to 20% chance of flash flooding and landslides in some recently burned areas of Los Angeles County, forecasters say, including the Palisades and Eaton fire areas.

Los Angeles is forecast to receive desperately needed rain this weekend, providing relief to first responders battling four active fires in the region while also creating the risk of new hazards including mudslides,

A flood watch has been issued for parts of Southern California as rain and snow began to hit the region, prompting concerns over debris flow and mudslides. It will remain in effect until Monday afternoon.
