California wildfires lose steam but rain brings different threats

As rain continues to fall across fire-weary Southern California, officials have warned about the potential for flooding, mudslides and runoff of toxic debris.

Intermittent showers began sweeping over the region on Sunday and are slated to persist into Tuesday, bringing a much-needed break from relentlessly dry conditions that fueled the explosive growth of wildfires throughout the region this month.

Flood advisories were in effect across Los Angeles and Ventura counties through Monday morning. The weather advisories were concentrated in areas scorched by the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have consumed over a combined 37,000 acres of land since they erupted on Jan. 7.

Threats from the rain included minor flooding over roadways and “shallow debris flows consisting of mudslides and rockslides,” especially along the region’s charred hillsides, according to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles.
