Flash Flood Watch

As of December 3 at 6:22 am, the Flash Flood Watch is in effect until 4 am on Thursday, December 4th, 2014.

Flooding is possible later this afternoon and evening through the overnight hours in and around the recent burn areas of Los Angeles County.

A moist southwesterly flow associated with a dynamic upper low system just off the coast of San Francisco will continue to bring periods of off and on showers across Los Angeles County, through early this afternoon. There will be an increasing chance of rain later this afternoon through at least the evening hours and possibly into early Thursday morning.

Hourly rainfall rates will be between one quarter and one half inch. Rainfall of this intensity and duration has the potential to bring dangerous flash flooding with damaging mud and debris flows to the recent burn areas.

Rainfall rates of one half inch per hour are possible which could produce damaging mud and debris flows in and near recent burn areas.

Residents near the recent burn areas should be prepared for significant mud and debris flows. Residents are urged to take the steps necessary to protect their property. Persons in the watch area should remain alert and follow directions of emergency preparedness officials.
