Thursday’s gusty winds are the first impact our incoming storm system, but rain remains the big focus.<\/p>\n
Winds will stay strong until a cold front moves through Kern Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Our first round of rain moves in Thursday night into Friday as well.<\/p>\n
This band will bring a decent amount of rain, 0.10″ to 0.33″ in the Valley, and up to 1″ in the south mountains.<\/p>\n
The heavier rain is still on track for Saturday.<\/p>\n
Rain will be widespread across Kern starting Saturday morning and lasting into Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Between Thursday and Saturday, rain totals between 1.00″ and 2.00″ are likely in the Valley and Desert, with 1.50″ to 3.00″ in our mountain areas and the west side hills. <\/p>\n
Even higher totals are possible in the mountain areas near the Grapevine.<\/p>\n
With the potential for heavy rain, the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch through Saturday for our mountain and desert areas.<\/p>\n
Excessive rainfall could lead to flooding of low-lying and poor drainage areas, as well and runoff flooding.<\/p>\n
Other possible impacts include rockslides and washed out roads.<\/p>\n
A few lingering showers are possible into Sunday, but no impacts are expected that day.<\/p>\n
Yet another storm system looks to move in late Sunday night into Monday, and we’ll continue to track that storm into the weekend.<\/p>\n
