President Trump and first lady Melania Trump met with California residents to tour the damage of the Los Angeles wildfires on Friday.

There is a 10% to 20% chance of flash flooding and landslides in some recently burned areas of Los Angeles County, forecasters say, including for the Palisades and Eaton fires.

California firefighters could make more headway in containing three major wildfires burning in and around Los Angeles on Friday, as the latest round of blistering winds calm and the area's first rainfall in months arrives over the weekend.

Los Angeles is forecast to receive desperately needed rain this weekend, providing relief to first responders battling four active fires in the region while also creating the risk of new hazards including mudslides,

Prior to arriving in California Friday, Trump told reporters in North Carolina that the Federal Government would not provide aid to Los Angeles recovery efforts unless new voter ID laws were passed and changes were made to the state's water management system.

The National Weather Service warned of a “particularly dangerous situation” across Los Angeles, Ventura and San Diego counties due to low humidity and powerful Santa Ana winds.

Twenty-seven people have died across the Los Angeles area. Officials have said the true death toll isn’t known as the fires continue to burn.
