Severe weather advisory: avoid unnecessary travel & remain vigilant
Strong winds and heavy rainfall are expected to continue throughout the day. This severe weather is creating hazardous conditions including rock fall, downed trees, and localized flooding throughout the County. Please drive with extreme caution, avoid unnecessary travel, and watch out for roads crews, utilities workers, and first responders.
Localized flooding, downed trees, and other hazardous conditions are currently present at Spring Mountain Road, Deer Park Road, and Soda Canyon Road. Please avoid those areas in particular as the storm continues. Soda Canyon Road is open, but residents should avoid traveling on that road due to hazardous conditions.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning which is in effect this afternoon (please see the attachment for additional information). A Flash Flood Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding. It does not mean flooding will occur, but it is possible. In contrast, a Flash Flood Warning is issued when flash flooding is imminent or occurring. When NWS upgrades a Flash Flood Watch to a Flash Flood Warning, based on observed precipitation, they send a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) message to cell phones in the impacted areas through mobile carriers.
