For the La Canada/Flintridge and Altadena burn areas:
RAINFALL: The County has revised their prediction about the amount of rainfall anticipated between 4 AM this morning and 4 AM Sunday. The amount of rainfall now predicted is 2.2 inches
As a result of the change in the rainfall forecast, the flooding, mud and debris flow forecasts have also been revised.
