Although California received some much-needed rain on Thursday, meteorologists are warning of potential flooding and runoff from another fast-moving storm.
Officials started evacuating the homes of some residents living near areas prone to flooding and mudslide, according to a report by the Associated Press.
About of inch of precipitation hit some areas of the San Francisco Bay Wednesday night, while some light rain made its way down to Los Angeles.
Some worried the storm would cause extreme flooding and mud slides in areas where a string of wildfires burned some of the suburban neighborhoods of Glendora and Azusa, located just 25 miles east of Los Angeles.
Around 1,000 homes in Azusa and Glendora were evacuated on Thursday, ahead of the storm.
Continuous rain and snow has also led the National Weather Service to release a flash flood watch, as well as winter storm warnings, for the greater LA area into the weekend.
"Residents located near burn areas should be alert for the potential of mud and debris flows Friday through Saturday," weather officials warned.
A bigger storm is slated to roll in by Friday night.
Some traffic accidents have already been reported, according to USA Today.
Rain is expected to come over the weekend, with temperatures in the upper 50s and cloudy conditions in Los Angeles.
In the San Francisco Bay Area and Central Valley, weather officials said to expect rain continuously until Sunday.
"The system will stream moisture from the Pacific into California, producing moderate to heavy rain over parts of Southern/Central California on Friday, waning to light rain by Saturday evening." Paul Ziegenfelder, National Weather Service meteorologist, reported.
The rain is expected to head southwest after forming snow in some parts of the Sierra Nevada mountains on Sunday.
