PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flood Watch for flash flooding means there is a potential for rapid

dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typically flood.
Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action
quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action

Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been
associated with an increased risk of landslides, especially
fast-moving debris flows and debris slides. If you live on a
mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain, especially near
a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm and follow
evacuation orders from local officials. Consider postponing travel
along mountain roads during the heavy rainfall event.
