Back-to-back storms are moving through Southern California, snarling Friday morning traffic with fender-benders and prompting new mudslide worries in fire-scarred areas.

The National Weather Service said an overnight storm dumped about a quarter-inch of rain in Los Angeles and more than a half-inch in Burbank.

Three-quarters of an inch were reported in the Malibu hills.

Further north, more than an inch fell in Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties.

A storm moving in Friday night has prompted concerns of mudslides northeast of downtown Los Angeles, where the Station Fire denuded 250 square miles of the Angeles National Forest.

Residents living near areas burned by wildfires are again facing worries about the possibility of flooding and mud flows.

Los Angeles County officials say they'll close all county roads within the burn area as of midnight. They'll stay closed until the storm passes.

Monday's rainfall in the L.A. foothill suburbs near the burn area was mostly moderate and there were no mudslides.
