The National Weather Service has provided a detailed timeline of when rain is expected to hit Los Angeles and Southern California this weekend.

There is a 10% to 20% chance of flash flooding and landslides in some recently burned areas of Los Angeles County, forecasters say, including the Palisades and Eaton fire areas.

Local media reports that these winds could create "dangerous" fire weather conditions that could last all week.

The particularly dangerous situation alert is relatively new to Southern California but has been issued before the recent wildfires that have caused devastation across LA County.

After weekend rainfall caused mudslides in wildfire burn scar areas and snow created dangerous driving conditions, several roadways and schools remain closed across the Southern California region.

A fire broke out Wednesday night along the 405 Freeway in the Sepulveda Pass near the Getty Center, burning about 20 acres and spurring an evacuation warning.

The wet weather will bring relief to Southern California after a prolonged period of dryness, but there’s concern that any bursts of heavy rainfall could cause flooding.

More than an inch of rain fell in many areas, loosening Los Angeles hillsides burned bare by the recent blaze near the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
