A series of back-to-back storms has dropped significant rain across Southern California, triggering the risk of mudslides, flooding and debris flows in recent burn scar areas.
The possibility of scattered showers were forecast through Friday evening in many parts of the region.
The bulk of the storm moved through Southern California early Thursday amid evacuation warnings.

After this week's rain, debris and mudflows are still a top concern, which is what Altadena dealt with on Friday.
Many streets near the Eaton Fire burn scar area were covered in mud.
Crews spent much of the morning working to clear. Many drivers are being asked to drive with caution.
Meanwhile, the clean-up work continued in Pico Rivera after a tornado hit Thursday morning.
A stretch of Pacific Coast Highway reopened earlier than expected Thursday to residents who live in the Palisades Fire burn area, essential businesses and school bus traffic.
According to authorities, Metro is also allowed to resume bus service to Line 134. Since more rain is expected Friday, officials are asking people to drive carefully.
Caltrans, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, California Highway Patrol, and other city and state agencies will allow access to Palisades, Malibu and unincorporated L.A. County residents who live in the Palisades Fire burn area and who have to use PCH.
The pass checkpoints will remain at Chautauqua Boulevard in Los Angeles and Carbon Beach Terrace in Malibu.
The sheriff's department is handing out burn area access passes for Malibu, Sunset Mesa, Topanga Canyon and unincorporated L.A. County residents and contractors hired by residents in the burn area only.
You can pick those up from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Santa Monica College-Malibu Interpretive Center located at 23555 Civic Center Way in Malibu on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
You can also pick them up at Malibu City Hall, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, on Saturdays during the same hours.
More information and restrictions can be found at malibucity.org.
Pacific Palisades and all Palisades Fire-impacted residents can pick up access passes at the Disaster Recovery Center at 10850 Pico Blvd., Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The following restrictions on PCH are still in place.
PCH remains closed to general traffic, and only essential travel is recommended. Visitors wishing to access Malibu may do so by using US 101 via Las Virgenes Road/Malibu Canyon Road, or Kanan Dume Road.
Thursday's storm led to mudslides that trapped cars in San Jacinto.
Multiple mudslides rushed down near Soboba Road and Chabela Drive, near Soboba Casino, leaving several vehicles stuck in mud. Fire crews were called to the area just after 6 a.m.
First responders were able to help rescue six people. They were all evaluated and released.
Residents in Sierra Madre reported power outages overnight as the community remains an area of concern, but so far, the mud hasn't been an issue.
Portions of the community remain under evacuation orders and warnings due to possible debris and mudflows.
However, Woodland Drive, the heart of Sierra Madre, didn't see many issues. Eyewitness News captured crews working to clear a small amount of dirt that accumulated.
A city worker told ABC7 that during this storm, things went quite well.
Sierra Madre was hit by mudslides after last month's strong rainstorms. This week, residents were prepared. Many set up walls and placed sandbags along their properties.
Fortunately, there weren't many issues.
"It was okay about 3 o' clock this morning. We lost electricity, and it came back on a couple hours later, other than that, it just rained all night," said Sierra Madre resident Maureen Daniels. "We had a couple of really big gusts of wind and heavy rain, and that was about it. So this time was a lot better than the last time."
