With parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires, the expected rain this weekend would seem like a welcome relief. But how the rain falls could make the difference between a disaster respite or a disaster repeat.

Firefighters continue to battle multiple blazes in Southern California while President Trump is set to visit Los Angeles to tour wildfire damage.

I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” the president said. Federal emergency managers from both parties have made the same argument.

The 10,396-acre Hughes fire reached 56% containment Friday as first responders gained progress on multiple blazes burning in Los Angeles County, which is expected to receive some rain over the weekend.
