Widespread Showers With Areas Of Heavy Rain Possible Sunday And Monday
By Scott Straley
Friday, July 18, 2008
From The National Weather Service
Monsoon Moisture Returning Over Southwest California
The dry and stable air mass over southwest California will come to an end Saturday. Weather models are indicating a strong surge of monsoon moisture moving up the Gulf of California and over Southern California Saturday night and Sunday.
This developing weather pattern will be favorable for widespread rain showers across the mountains and deserts of southwest California on Sunday.
Some of these showers will fall west of the mountains Sunday evening and may reach the coast. Total rainfall amounts west of the mountains will be relatively low, ranging from a few hundredths at the coast to a quarter inch near the foothills.
However, over the mountains and desert areas, rainfall amounts will be two to three times higher. Preliminary indications are that the flash flood potential will be moderate to high Sunday through Monday. Heavy rainfall accompanying thunderstorms could drop more than an inch and a half of rain in a very short time.
Persons living in, traveling through, or planning outdoor activities in the mountains and deserts this weekend should monitor both the sky and latest news reports. A Flash Flood Watch and or Warnings may be issued later this weekend.
