...A Flash Flood Watch is in effect from noon today through Wednesday afternoon for all of San Diego County, including our deserts. …A large Pacific plume of moisture is expected to bring heavy rains and the potential for areas of serious flooding.
…Rainfall rates near or greater than one inch per hour are possible at times...especially in the mountains.
…Mud and debris flows area also possible...especially below steep terrain and areas with little to no vegetation.
…Runoff coming out of the mountains will fill and could overflow streams on the desert slopes of the mountains...thus the deserts are included in this flash flood watch.
…Strong thunderstorms could accompany a cold front on Wednesday. With the rainfall already received...this additional significant rainfall will continue the threat of mud and debris flows... Particularly in and around the recent burn areas.
Precautionary/preparedness actions... A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation. You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued.
STORM TOTAL NOON MONDAY: 1.34 in.
YEAR TO DATE: 5.64 in.
