The recent storm brought some much needed moisture to Southern California without the dangerous mudslides some feared. But did it help reduce the fire danger?

Heavy rain beginning Sunday afternoon caused some mudslides, and snow closed part of Interstate 5 near Los Angeles.

A slow-moving low-pressure system will linger over the Southwest, bringing steady rain through at least Monday.

The Los Angeles area is preparing for its first rain since wildfires first broke out weeks ago. But too much rain at once could bring its own set of significant issues.

Southern California’s first rainy weekend of the winter has arrived. The rain event, months in the making, brought steady storms across the region as the Southland experiences drought conditions. The mostly welcome rain began Saturday night and is expected to sustain until Monday evening.
