Two significant storms are hitting two different parts of the country at the same time as a frenzied weather pattern shows no signs of stopping.

Residents in burn areas should remain on high alert as Southern California prepares for what is forecast to be the heaviest storm of the season so far, and which could prompt evacuations, officials said Wednesday,

A new rain storm is bearing down on California, including fire-ravaged Los Angeles, where residents are bracing for the possibility of mudslides and landslides.

Forecasters released a breakdown Tuesday of where and when heavy rainfall this week is expected to hit areas of Southern California left burn-scarred by recent wildfires, raising the risk of potentially dangerous debris flows in those parts of the region.
