Heavy rain is still on track for Saturday.<\/p>\n
Moderate to heavy rain will move into Kern County Saturday morning and last into the afternoon, before clearing out Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
A few rumbles of thunder are possible as the heavier bands of rain move in, too.<\/p>\n
Scattered showers are expected early Sunday on the backside of the system, before skies clear through the day.<\/p>\n
Everyone in Kern will see significant rain from this storm, with most spots picking up at least 1″.<\/p>\n
Rain totals between 1.00″ and 2.00″ are expected in the Valley and Desert, with 1.50″ to 3.00″ expected in the mountains and the west side hills.<\/p>\n
A Flood Watch is in effect for our mountain and desert areas.<\/p>\n
Flooding of low-lying and poor drainage areas will be possible.<\/p>\n
Mud and rock slides will be possible, too, especially in places like the Kern Canyon where those are common.<\/p>\n
Excessive runoff could lead to washed out roadways, and dirt roads may be damaged.<\/p>\n
Roadways will be wet all across Kern.<\/p>\n
Be sure to drive slow and turn your headlights on when driving Saturday, and make sure your windshield wipers are in good shape before heading out.<\/p>\n
Additional rain is expected on Monday as a separate storm moves into Kern.<\/p>\n
