The National Weather Service has provided a detailed timeline of when rain is expected to hit Los Angeles and Southern California this weekend.

After weekend rainfall caused mudslides in wildfire burn scar areas and snow created dangerous driving conditions, several roadways and schools were closed across the Southern California region.

A fire broke out Wednesday night along the 405 Freeway in the Sepulveda Pass near the Getty Center, burning about 20 acres and spurring an evacuation warning.
