Storm moves into Southern California, flooding some streets
Steady rain fell in Southern California on Sunday, with flooding, mud and debris flows closing some roads.
The Pomona Police Department reported flooding at the underpass at First Street, with several streets in the area either closed or affected by flooding, including South Reservoir Street, South Towne Avenue, East End Street, Garey Avenue and White Avenue. “Received significant rainfall over our mountains last night and we are starting to see a response in our local main stem rivers. Not enough to reach monitor or flood stage, but finally seeing some flow,” the National Weather Service’s Los Angeles office tweeted at 8:33 a.m.
The Angeles National Forest said roads in the forest might be very slick and/or closed due to rain or snow. Tire or snow chain requirements could be in effect.The Los Angeles County mountains were predicted to see rainfall rates of 1/2- to 3/4-inch per hour. Those rates prompted the NWS to issue a flash flood watch for the mountains, Antelope Valley and San Gabriel Valley through Sunday afternoon. The watch particularly applies to the Fish Fire and Lake Fire burn areas.
