Southern California is preparing for significant rainfall this week, with the heaviest expected on Thursday, followed by light to moderate rains into next week. Rainfall amounts could be substantial, especially following a dry winter where Los Angeles had just 5.58 inches since October 1, far below the average. Concerns rise for burn zones, particularly with debris flows. Strong winds gusting up to 55 mph may exacerbate conditions. Officials are monitoring the situation closely, and rain rates could reach half an inch per hour in some areas, increasing risk.
The heaviest rain is forecast for Thursday, with totals between 0.10 to 1 inch, followed by more rain expected after a brief dry period.
Officials are particularly concerned about burn zones like the Palisades and Eaton fire scars, where debris flows could occur during heavy rains.
