What amount of rain has fallen thus far? Intense, localized downpours might continue into Monday in Los Angeles.
The National Weather Service has warned that the wildfire burn scar areas will continue at risk of flash floods and mudslides until Monday afternoon, even though the rain is predicted to stop by Monday evening.
On Monday, the storm's core will likely pass over Los Angeles County, increasing the likelihood of heavy, locally distributed precipitation. Palisades, Eaton, Hughes, Franklin, and Bridge fire burn scars were all put on flood watch by the National Weather Service in anticipation of the storm.More than half an inch of rain per hour can cause havoc on burned areas, making the already water-repellent soil even more prone to flooding and landslides.
County Department of Public Works personnel informed residents at a town hall meeting on Sunday that 15,000 K-rail barriers and 50,000 sandbags had been placed in the burn area to safeguard residences and the environment from the Palisades fire. On Sunday night, members of the Los Angeles Fire Department were removing muck that had piled on Palisades Drive.
