Southern California rain expected to ease firefighters mopping up multiple wildfires.

But potentially heavy downpours on charred hillsides could bring new troubles such as toxic ash runoff.

Flood watches are issued for some burn areas, while snow is likely in the mountains.

The Palisades and Eaton fires have killed at least 28 people and destroyed more than 14,000 structures.
