The Los Angeles area is preparing for its first rain since wildfires first broke out weeks ago. But too much rain at once could bring its own set of significant issues.

A delegation of Israeli firefighting experts spent a week in California helping American crews combat the LA fires. One member of the team described the experience as an "honor."

At least 28 people are believed to be dead and more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for as multiple wildfires rage across Southern California.

Crews spent much of the past week removing vegetation, shoring up slopes and reinforcing roads in devastated areas of the Palisades and Eaton fires, which reduced entire neighborhoods to rubble and ash after breaking out during powerful winds Jan.

On Sunday at 1:29 a.m. the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA issued a winter weather advisory. The advisory is for Santa Barbara County Interior Mountains, Southern Ventura County Mountains, Northern Ventura County Mountains,

Southern California is about to get its first significant rainfall in months, bringing desperately needed relief after dry conditions and hazardous winds fueled a series of wildfires in January. The rain could start as early as Saturday afternoon and last through Monday night with the heaviest rain coming on Sunday,

The star of the "Daddy's Home" film franchise says President Donald Trump's visit for wildlife relief is "like daddy arrived" for Californians.

The visit came the day after a new ballot initiative asking voters whether the state should become an independent country was cleared by the California Secretary of State's office to begin gathering signatures. Could the Golden State just fly the coop, become its own nation and walk away from 175 years of union with the United States?

A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.

With many parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires, the expected rain this weekend would seem like a welcome relief. But how the rain falls could make the difference between a disaster respite or a disaster repeat.
