LOS ANGELES () — A flood advisory has been issued for parts of Los Angeles County until 4 p.m. as some residents report seeing small hail and heavy downpours.
The advisory covers areas from Van Nuys and Hollywood, extending to Chatsworth, including the Hurst and Sunset burn Scars.
The National Weather Service said peak rain rates of 0.30 to 0.40 inches per hour will be likely.
A flood watch went into effect at 10 a.m. for fire-ravaged areas, which has been ground zero for the historic firestorms that have leveled thousands of homes and killed at least 28 people since first igniting on Jan. 7.
The flood watch will remain in effect until Monday afternoon in burn-scarred areas left by the Eaton, Palisades, Franklin, Bridge and Hughes fires.
The rain is forecast to be widespread but is expected to be light enough to avoid major flooding. But if a downpour spends enough time over one of the recent burn scars, a debris flow could become an issue.
Rain totals from the storm will mostly range from a half-inch to an inch, allowing for a decent soaking for the first time in months.
Some areas like Universal City, Koreatown, Studio City and Sherman Oaks saw downpours around noon. Some residents heard thunder at least twice.
Since June 1, Los Angeles has only picked up 0.03 inches of rainfall, which has allowed an extreme drought to develop across the area for the first time in two years.
In addition to rain, higher elevations of Southern California, including the San Gabriel Mountains straddling northern Los Angeles and western San Bernardino counties, are expecting snow, with areas above 4,000 feet getting up to 14 inches of powder.
The rain and snow forecast comes as firefighters continued to battle five active fires on Sunday from Ventura County north of Los Angeles to the Mexican border south of San Diego.
