The National Weather Service issued a flood watch effective from 4 p.m. Sunday to 4 p.m. Monday for areas in or near burn scars created by the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hughes Fire and Bridge Fire, the latter blaze of which burned 56,000 acres last fall.

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.

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

A new wildfire was reported today at 12:47 p.m. in Los Angeles County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. At this time, there is no information on the containment of the fire and the cause of it remains undetermined.

Light rain and scattered showers will linger across Southern California and the region's mountain communities will see more snowfall Monday. The much-needed rain is dampening recent fire areas while also increasing the risk of mudslides and dangerous debris flow.

Rain has finally returned to wildfire-scorched Los Angeles — but now officials are warning flooding and landslides could wreak more chaos on the battered city along its “burn scars.” The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the area from 4 p.
