September 20, 2015 (San Diego’s East County) – The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch, cautioning that heavy rainfall and flash flooding is possible from Monday afternoon through Tuesday in San Diego’s eastern mountains and deserts.
Rainfall could exceed two inches in mountains and could top an inch in the deserts. Recent wildfire burned areas will be particularly susceptible to flash flooding and debris flows.
Be alert to rapidly changing weather conditions, especially if you live in a flood-prone area or have outdoor plans Mnday or Tuesday. The forecast is due to low pressure and an approaching plume of deep moisture.
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.
