Tropical Storm Kay is forecast to produce heavy rain and high winds across Southern California on Friday and Saturday as the center of the storm moves away from Mexico's Baja California and tropical moisture surges northward.
The projected path and intensity of Tropical Storm Kay. Rainfall amounts between 2 and 4 inches, with isolated totals up to 6 inches, are possible through Saturday in parts of Southern California.
This amount of rain is likely to produce flash flooding and small-stream flooding in some areas, especially near recent burn scars and along the eastern slopes of the Southern California mountains."The brunt of this rain is going to be in the ranges and in the mountains of Southern California," FOX Weather meteorologistsaid.
The cities of Los Angeles and San Diego are currently predicted to receive between a half-inch and an inch of rain, but higher amounts are likely to the east and southeast of those metro areas.Due to the threat of flooding rainfall, Flood Watches have been issued for portions of inland Southern California from Friday morning through Saturday evening.
"This could be a significant impact," Minar said. "Any moisture is impressive with a tropical cyclone, but when that tropical cyclone moves into a region that's not normally used to seeing moisture on this level, rain is beyond impressive, and so we really need to pay attention to this forecast closely.
