Flash Flood Watch Issued for Riverside County

The Coachella Valley and the rest of Riverside County are under a flash flood watch today. A storm is expected to bring precipitation ranging anywhere from light showers to strong downpours.

The National Weather Service flash flood watch is set to expire at 5 this afternoon. Until then, we run the risk of coming under rain falling at more than an inch per hour, which could lead to flash flooding in the mountains, the lower deserts and the valleys around Riverside.
