LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A flood watch will go into effect Sundy in recent Los Angeles County wildfire areas, as the first of what's expected to be three days of rain arrives and authorities switch gears from worrying about fires to possible landslides.
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch from 10 a.m. Sunday to 4 p.m. Monday for the Eaton, Palisades, Franklin, Bridge and Hughes burn scars.
Although the rainfall totals aren't expected to be that large, the terrain in the fire areas is especially vulnerable to movement after the devastating blazes.
City News Service, Inc. contributed to this report.
Mandatory evacuations were issued Wednesday in the Castaic area due to the fast-spreading Hughes Fire.
CAL FIRE's map shows the evacuation zones.
