Southern California faces a threat of flooding and landslides as the region prepares for its first significant rainfall of the winter. Recently burned areas in Los Angeles County, particularly those affected by the Palisades, Franklin, Eaton, Hughes, and Bridge fires, are most vulnerable to these hazards. The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for the region, urging residents to take precautions and avoid burned areas during the storm.
Areas recently burned by wildfires in Los Angeles County are at some risk for flooding and landslides as Southern California prepares this weekend for its first significant rain of the winter. 'The threat is high enough to prepare for the worst-case scenario,' the National Weather Service office in Oxnard said on social media.
Between Saturday and Monday, Thousand Oaks and Oxnard could get three-fifths of an inch of rain; Redondo Beach, Santa Clarita and Fillmore, seven-tenths of an inch; Long Beach, four-fifths of an inch; and downtown Los Angeles and Covina, nine-tenths of an inch. If the storm produces rain on the higher end of estimates, from 1 to 1.5 inches of rain could fall in Orange County, Ontario, Riverside, Lake Elsinore, Temecula and coastal northern San Diego County.
