The Los Angeles area is preparing for the tail end of an atmospheric river that will bring "beneficial rain," forecasters say.

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.

The incoming rain has sparked concerns about toxic debris in the burn scar areas. Tom Wait and Nicole Comstock report.

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

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

After a very dry start to winter, two distinct rainstorms are making their way to the Southern California region.

After the region was devastated by three massive wildfires last month – the Palisades, Hughes and Eaton fires – crews prepared for potential debris flow in burn scar areas.
