The Los Angeles area is preparing for the tail end of an atmospheric river that will bring "beneficial rain," forecasters say.

An ocean water quality rain advisory was issued for all of Los Angeles County beaches after weekend rainfall caused mudslides in burn scar areas.

The wet weather will bring relief to Southern California after a prolonged period of dryness, but there’s concern that any bursts of heavy rainfall could cause flooding.

The weather provided relief for crews working to contain wildfires, though rain over a burn area ups the chances of flooding and mudslides

Pacific Coast Highway will be closed this week because of potential mud and debris flows during the upcoming storms.
