Rain has moved out of Southern California after the first significant storm of the season brought weekend downpours that aided firefighters. Ash and mud flowed across streets, but no significant problems were reported Monday in areas scorched by wildfires.

Less than an inch of rain fell in most areas, but it was enough to loosen Los Angeles hillsides burned bare by the recent blaze near the Pacific Palisades.

Rain brought much needed aid to the Los Angeles firefight, moving the fires surrounding the city closer to containment.
