Rare 'high risk' forecast for excessive rainfall issued
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Weather Prediction Center issued a rare "high risk" forecast for excessive rainfall for Sunday across a large swath of Southern California, from Palm Springs up toward Death Valley.
"High risk" forecasts are only issued a couple times a year on average, and 39% of all flood-related fatalities and 83% of all flood-related damages in the U.S. occur on those days.
A "moderate risk" for extreme rainfall has also been issued from Las Vegas to San Diego and Los Angeles. Numerous flash floods could unfold in these areas as well, with some of them potentially significant and very dangerous.
The deadliest hazard associated with tropical cyclones over the past decade is flooding from heavy rain.
