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.

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.

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.

Rainfall forecasted for this weekend could present new dangers for areas already left devastated by recent wildfires across the Los Angeles region. With rain expected to arrive by Sunday, the California Office of Emergency Services is warning of increased risks of flooding,
