The incoming weather systems are projected to bring rain across Southern California’s coastal communities, including the burn-scarred hills and mountains around Los Angeles, raising fears of mudflows and flash flooding. But the bulk of the storms will likely stay north of San Diego County.

The latest forecasts have the rain arriving Wednesday and lingering off and on through Friday, before skies clear up next Saturday.

Feb. 4 A new wildfire was reported today at 5:29 a.m. in San Diego County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. There is currently no information on the containment of the fire and its cause remains undetermined.

It could take weeks or months for the public to know what caused the fire that last month charred 6,600 acres in the Otay Mountain Wilderness as local Cal Fire officials continue their investigation.
