Heavy rain possible in California's wildfire-burned areas

A storm moving into California is bringing rain that threatens to unleash debris flows in wildfire burn areas and snow that could cause travel problems on mountain roads.

The weather service issued a watch on November 29 for possible flash flooding in areas scarred by major blazes throughout the state.

Crews cleared drainage ways and removed burned trees that could topple in the area of Paradise, a northern town devastated by the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century. Up to an inch of rain is expected there.

In Southern California, residents are urged to voluntarily evacuate neighborhoods southeast of Los Angeles where a fire burned last summer. Mandatory evacuations are in the city of Lake Elsinore.
