Heavy rain could bring the threat of toxic ash runoff from the Palisades and Eaton fires.

Flood watches are issued for some burn areas, and snow is likely in the mountains.

Most of Southern California is either in "extreme drought" or "severe drought," the U.S. Drought Monitor says.

The rain is expected to snap a near-record streak of dry weather for Southern California .
