<p>A rare storm began rolling through southern California on Monday night, drenching the Los Angeles region with heavy rain and prompting evacuation warnings and flash flood watches.</p>
<p>The heaviest rain is expected east of downtown Los Angeles, where 2 to 4 inches are possible in the foothills and San Gabriel Mountains. A flood watch is in effect in the area until 3 p.m. local time on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Evacuation warnings also include homes in the Pacific Palisades, which were scorched in January by one of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history.</p>
<p>Ariel Cohen, a lead meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Los Angeles, said at a Monday evening news conference that thunderstorms are possible going into Tuesday afternoon. Tornadoes, flooding, and "debris flows" in areas torched by the January wildfires are also possible, he said.</p>
<p>"The nature of this system is such that we cannot be certain about exactly when and where these impacts will strike," he cautioned.</p>
<p>Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a Monday statement that the city was prepared for the storm and has "bolstered the hillsides and vulnerable areas from potential debris flows in recent burn scar areas."</p>
<p>Bass said that resources, including strike teams, rescue teams and helicopters, have been strategically deployed for the Palisades and across the city.</p>
<p>A dozen people were killed in the January fire. Last week, investigators announced the arrest of a 29-year-old former Uber driver and charged him with starting the Palisades fire.</p>
<p>"To all Angelenos: stay safe, stay informed and follow official evacuation guidance," she said.</p>
<p>The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for most of Los Angeles County.</p>
<p>The city also issued an evacuation warning in the Pacific Palisades, Sunset and Hurst burn scar areas, the mayor's office said in a news release. The warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Wednesday.</p>
<p>On the East Coast, a power nor'easter continues to move away from the region. Coastal flood advisories and warnings remain in effect until Tuesday night for parts of the mid-Atlantic and northeast coast. Forecasts indicate that minor additional flooding is possible during high tides.</p>
