Confidence continues to increase for flooding impacts across portions of California, some of which may be locally significant, especially for areas along the Transverse Ranges, including Los Angeles through Saturday. Through the region rainfall accumulation generally around 1", with local values up to 3.5" has increased soil moisture over the region some. Though there may be some capacity for infiltration, if storms train over the same area, soils will become overwhelmed, resulting in increases on local streams and rivers. However, river flooding is not expected at this point. The main concern today and tomorrow will be urban areas, areas along the western slopes of the Transverse Ranges, and recently burned locations. These locations will be most vulnerable to the potential for significant flooding. Additionally, given forecast rainfall rates, debris flows are likely if storms move over burned areas. Given the localized nature of the significant flood a considerable" flood impact polygon will not be added to the FHO this issuance. Multiple rounds of rainfall are possible over the region over the next week, bringing the potential for flooding to portions of coastal California. Given that rainfall early in the week is generally light and the heaviest rainfall may be later in the week, we will wait to consider adding this risk to the FHO.
