The National Weather Service in Hanford has issued a flash flood watch for the Kern County Mountains below 8000 feet in the Sierra Nevada.
Heavy rainfall will create excess runoff and bring a threat of localized flash flooding, mudslides, rock slides and debris flows, particularly in the vicinity of burn scars. Some roads may become impassable or become washed out. Residents should be alert for rising waters on area streams with the possibility of flooding.
