Southern California was primed for more mudslides and flooding on Friday, especially in areas scorched by last month's devastating wildfires, even as heavy rains that have saturated the Los Angeles area this week tapered off.

The storm prompted evacuation orders, as officials warned of flash floods in burn-scarred areas near the Eaton and Palisades fires and cautioned drivers to stay off the roads.

A cold front that brought flash flooding and severe thunderstorms to the Southern California region has made its way east, but some scattered shows remain Friday morning.
