A slow-moving rainstorm system settled over Southern California on Sunday, bringing a much-needed reprieve from a lengthy dry spell. However, the rain also brought the risk of mudslides in areas scarred by this month's wildfires.

The showers were expected to continue into Monday afternoon, with light rain across the region and intermittent bursts of heavy rain. The rain could reduce fire risks and help vegetation parched by the driest start to a rainy season on record in Los Angeles.

Despite the benefits of the rain, the National Weather Service assessed there was a 10 to 20 percent chance of significant mudslides in several Los Angeles County burn scars. These areas are sensitive because fires devoured trees and brush, leaving the soil charred and vulnerable to erosion.

Marc Chenard, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, explained that the charred soil in burn scars could act like slick pavement when soaked by rain, creating the conditions for mudslides.
