The wet weather will bring relief to Southern California after a prolonged period of dryness, but there’s concern that any bursts of heavy rainfall could cause flooding.

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

The fires are still not fully contained and have killed 28 people and damaged or destroyed nearly 16,000 structures.

California firefighters could make more headway in containing three major wildfires burning in and around Los Angeles on Friday, as the latest round of blistering winds calm and the area's first rainfall in months arrives over the weekend.

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,

With parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires and new blazes flaring up, expected rainfall this weekend would seem like a welcome relief.
