Southern California received some much-needed rainfall over the last two days, which helped with the ongoing wildfire fight across the Los Angeles area. However, the return of the rain triggered Flash Flood Warnings,

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

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.

The NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA issued an updated flash flood warning at 8:15 p.m. on Sunday in effect until 11 p.m.

A flash-flood watch went into effect at 10 a.m. Sunday that includes fire-scarred areas of Souther California, with forecasters boosting their predictions for rainfall that carry the risk of significant flash flooding and debris.

A Sigalert was issued for several hours Monday morning after what looked like a lake formed on the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles. The flooding was first reported on the southbound side of the freeway near 4th Street around 2 a.

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.

After months of drought, Los Angeles is experiencing significant rainfall, which helps combat wildfires but raises concerns about landslides

Burn scars left by the recent fires in Los Angeles are becoming hotbeds for flash flooding, mudslides and debris flows as rainfall drenches the area.
