It indicated that \u201cthe storm\u2019s intensity has increased,\u201d per county officials, and that evacuation orders may be in the offing, at least for the Eaton Canyon\/Altadena area which falls under Barger\u2019s purview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cCounty emergency officials are actively working to determine next steps and the timing of official orders.

Those blazes were primed by growth from a 2022 wet season that registered a total of 28.40 inches of rainfall in the Los Angeles region, followed by 25.19 inches during the year 2023. The seasonal average is about 14 inches. The key here is that in 2024 that growth was dried out as the region experienced moderate drought conditions, including a period of eight months devoid of any measurable rainfall running up to fire season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWe\u2019ve more or less gone seven months since the Palisades and Eaton Fire burn areas received a deluge and saw mudflows that <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/03\/dukes-malibu-layoffs-126-employees-mudslide-1236351658\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">added to the damage<\/a> caused by the fires. This coming precipitation, while dangerous itself, could prevent a repeat of the wet-dry fire cycle as the region rolls into fall and awaits the rains of winter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tCity News Service contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UPDATED with latest: Even before the first drop of rain falls, the impacts of the coming storm are&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":301573,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[5810,14107,78551,50,17254,67,132,68,313,5609],"class_list":{"0":"post-301572","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"category-us","9":"tag-eaton-fire","10":"tag-hollywood","11":"tag-l-a-local","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-palisades-fire","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-weather","18":"tag-wildfires"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115370353309921145","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
