Rain Across LA Brings Debris-Flow Risk in Burn Scars, Flood Risk in Parts of County

Drivers should avoid flooded roadways, since most flood deaths happen in vehicles.

Rainfall rates could reach half an inch per hour in spots, enough to set off minor debris flows and rock falls on roads. Canyon roads and washes around Malibu, Pacific Palisades and Topanga are the areas of greatest concern.

Roadway flooding has already been reported, including on the 134 Freeway near the 5 in the Glendale area. The sharper risk is in the hills, where the NWS has a flood advisory until 1 p.m. for west-central LA County, including the Franklin and Palisades burn scars.

Rain and thunderstorms are moving across Los Angeles, with up to an inch of rain possible countywide through the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
