Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Mud and debris flow are possible near and in burn scars, including the Airport, Bridge and Line burn scars. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - An Atmospheric River will bring widespread moderate to heavy rain to the region on Wednesday. The heaviest and most widespread rain is expected Wednesday morning through evening. Peak rainfall rates of 0.50 to 1 inch per hour are expected. There is a potential for locally heavier hourly rainfall rates to develop with convection embedded in the main rain band or in thunderstorms after the main band passes. Isolated heavy showers could continue into Thursday but impacts from any additional rain are expected to be more localized. Snow levels are expected to remain above 8000 feet during period of heaviest precipitation bringing a heightened risk of mud slides, debris flow, and areas of flash flooding in the San Bernardino county mountains. - https://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Be alert in the mountains for rockslides and rocks in the road. &&
Severe Storm Risk
-There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY SUMMARY Thunderstorms with marginally severe wind gusts, small hail and potentially a brief tornado will be possible from Wednesday into Wednesday night along parts of the California coast, and inland across the San Joaquin Valley. Synopsis A high-amplitude midlevel pattern will persist on Wednesday, characterized by a deep trough across the eastern Pacific and a building ridge across the Plains. This pattern will maintain a broad belt of intense cyclonic flow across California into the Interior West. Throughout the day, an initial shortwave trough will continue lifting northeast from the eastern Pacific into the Pacific Northwest, while the attendant surface low lifts more northward along the coast toward Washington. Late on Wednesday a second, more potent trough will approach central and northern California -- primarily after dark. This setup will facilitate a prolonged period rain and embedded thunderstorms across California and portions of the Interior West into Thursday. California Coast Strong ascent and strengthening onshore flow will aid in modest destabilization Wednesday morning ahead of a surface cold front. An ongoing band of convection is expected across the central and southern coastal areas associated with the strongly forced ascent along the advancing cold front. Given the presence of a strong low-level jet (locally exceeding 50 knots at 1 km AGL), there is a risk that these strong winds will mix to the surface within the strongest convection resulting in damaging wind gusts. Forecast soundings across the area do maintain some low-level curvature ahead of the convective line, such that any convective element able to interact with true surface-based buoyancy would have the potential for a brief tornado. In the wake of the morning convection, a secondary surface low will intensify during the afternoon and overnight as it approaches the northern California coast. This will likely trigger another round or two of broken, low-topped convection along a second cold front. Despite weaker instability than with the morning convection, the strength of the wind fields would suggest an ongoing risk for isolated wind damage as this convection moves inland. Central Valley Cold midlevel temperatures and increasing height falls will overspread surface dewpoints in the 40s to perhaps low 50s. Although buoyancy will remain modest (MUCAPE at or below 500 J/kg), the presence of a powerful midlevel jet in excess of 100 knots will support long hodographs. This combination of modest instability and large/long hodographs may support a threat for semi-organized convection, including some potential for supercells. The strongest storms will be capable of producing damaging gusts, hail, and a brief tornado before the convection shifts east into the higher terrain and weakens.
