Up to 1.5 inches of rain could fall over the San Gabriel Mountains , while most of Los Angeles County could see around half an inch starting Saturday afternoon and lasting possibly through Monday .

The rain will likely help firefighting efforts, but it also brings risks of mudslides, flash flooding and toxic runoff.

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass said preparations are underway to address those threats.
