Heavy Rainstorm to Hit Southern California Wednesday Through Friday, Raising Flood and Mudslide Concerns

Storm to Bring Heavy Rain, Potential Mudslides, and Flooding to Burn Areas

Southern California residents are bracing for a powerful storm expected to bring significant rainfall between Wednesday and Friday. The storm poses a heightened risk of mudslides and debris flows in areas recently scorched by wildfires.

Flood Watches in Place for Burn Scar Areas

The National Weather Service has issued flood watches from 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, to 4 a.m. Friday, Feb. 14, for areas affected by recent fires, including the Eaton, Palisades, Franklin, and Bridge fire burn scars. These locations are at high risk for flash flooding and debris flows due to the lack of vegetation, which reduces the soil’s ability to absorb water.

Rainfall will begin Wednesday night with light showers, intensifying late Thursday into Friday.
