Southern California area is Under a Flash Flood Watch on Friday through Saturday

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> A slow moving cut-off low-pressure system is expected to bring a couple days of rainfall with a chance of thunderstorms and potential flash flooding to parts of California.

The Southern California Weather Force has issued a Flood Watch and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Southern California on Friday November 14 and on Saturday. The peak heaviest rainfall will be on Saturday.

The Cajon Pass/foothills area could get about 3+ inches of rain total. The Inland Empire cities could get about an inch to 2 inches of rain total; each city could vary. A thunderstorm can product higher rain totals. This will result in isolated flash and urban flooding on Saturday.

The rain showers and thunderstorms should clear out by Sunday but more rain is in the forecast on Monday and Tuesday.

Check with the Southern California Weather Force for up-to-date information on the weather.

Wet weather is expected in the coming days, and the Pain In The Pass reminds all motorists to use extra caution when driving in the rain.

🚗 Drive Smart, Stay Safe:

✅ Slow down — wet roads reduce traction and increase stopping distance.

✅ Turn on headlights and wipers when visibility is low.

✅ Avoid cruise control on slick surfaces.

✅ Allow extra space between you and the vehicle ahead.

✅ Stay alert for standing water and possible hydroplaning.

Even light rain can make roads slippery — take it slow and arrive safely. Together, we can help keep the roadways safe.
