areas, Apple and Lucerne Valleys, San Bernardino County Mountains
and portions of the northern Inland Empire adjacent to the San
Bernardino County Mountains.
* WHEN...From late tonight through Friday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Extensive heavy rainfall in the San Bernardino Mountains that
resulted in instances of flash flooding and debris flow in
the mountains and adjacent drainages in the northern Inland
Empire and High Desert yesterday have saturated the soils and
drainage banks. An additional 1-3 inches (and locally up to 4
inches) of rainfall is expected in the mountains tonight.
While rainfall rates will be generally lighter than yesterday
(closer to 0.2-0.5"/hr), the saturated soils and drainage
banks will likely be more susceptible to flash flooding with
the additional rainfall.
Snow levels will generally be around 7500-8000ft for this
secondary round of precipitation tonight and Friday.
