Exceptionally dry weather has targeted Southern California so far this winter, creating ideal conditions for wildfires.

So far, many clues to the origins of the deadly Eaton fire, which started in the area just after 6 p.m. that evening and went on to kill 17 people, have pointed to the brushy hillside where a tangle of electrical lines stretch up Eaton Canyon.

Charge Ariel Cohen joins FOX Weather to talk about the recent impacts of rainfall in areas of Southern California burned by recent wildfires.

Southern California has experienced its first significant storm of the season, which brought much-needed snow and rain to the region, including some impactful consequences. On Monday, these weather conditions helped to douse ongoing wildfires yet caused ash and mud flows on streets in the Los Angeles area.
