California braces for intense rain, renewing concerns about mudslides in burn areas


A strong storm that was poised to descend on portions of the state by midday Tuesday is prompting concerns about flash flooding and debris flows in recent burn areas. “There’s likely going to be heavy rain for the morning commute in Los Angeles tomorrow, so people should be prepared for that,” she said. There’s a slight chance of thunderstorms Thursday with brief pockets of heavy rain. Sustained precipitation could cause mudslides in burn areas, the weather service warned. “Locally heavy rainfall could produce flash flooding, with the greatest threat to steep terrain, especially in and below recently burned areas,” the weather service said.
