After Wednesday's rain tapers off, the region will see "a brief 18-24-hour break" before a second "non-atmospheric river" storm moves in Thursday night into Friday, according to the weather service.

Due to the rain expected this week, protective measures including K-rails and sandbags have been placed near hillsides and around homes to keep the debris and mud from causing catastrophic damage to the homes still standing.

There are growing concerns tonight that rain in areas devastated by the Eaton Fire will cause debris and mudflows, with preparations already underway to protect the area. Carlos Saucedo reports Feb. 4,
