With more rain and possible debris flows coming, Caltrans is closing Topanga Canyon Boulevard once again.

The agency is closing the 3.6-mile stretch of the road between Pacific Coast Highway and Grand View Drive at midnight.

That part of the road has closed several times already during the recent series of storms.

Caltrans is worried about people driving through possible debris flows during the storms.

The road had just reopened at 5 a.m. on Friday following the previous storm. It ended up being open for less than 24 hours.

Caltrans said crews will monitor and reassess road conditions daily, as long as it is safe to do so, and will share updates on road reopening via news releases and social media when they are available.

An evacuation warning was issued for parts of Los Angeles near wildfire burn scars, city officials said Friday.

The warning will go into effect at 10 a.m. Saturday due to potential debris flows.

The warning comes ahead of another round of rain expected in Southern California over the weekend.

More rain and a cold front are headed toward Southern California. The rain is expected to arrive on Saturday afternoon and stick around all day Sunday, making for a wet weekend.

There is a short break from the heavy rain during the overnight hours. Scattered showers are expected at different parts of the region Sunday morning and into the afternoon.
