Long-awaited rainfall was easing throughout Southern California Monday, without having generated the floods feared in the wake of the local fires.

Several minor mud flows were reported. Most notably, a slide closed Topanga Canyon Boulevard near the Pacific Coast Highway. The Grapevine, which connects the Los Angeles area to the Central Valley, was also closed due to snowfall.

The Antelope Valley Freeway, an alternative route to the Grapevine, was also impacted by heavy snow flurries Sunday night, with Caltrans reporting whiteout conditions shortly before 1 a.m. As of Monday afternoon, the freeway is open.

Flood watches across the area were cancelled or allowed to expire, as rains missed the burn areas which were most likely to flood.

Slightly less than an inch of rain was reported at L.A. International airport in the 24 hours leading up to 3 a.m. Monday. However, some parts of the L.A. area received as little as a fifth of an inch.

The possibility of showers remains through Tuesday, according to current forecasts. Temperatures are expected to remain below their seasonal averages through Thursday.

Evacuation orders have been lifted for the Eaton and some parts of the Palisades fire. Many residents of Pacific Palisades have been allowed to return to their homes, even as the areas remain closed to outsiders. A map of current evacuation warnings and orders can be found on the L.A. County website.
