"Southern California could see some unseasonable rain and thunderstorms this week thanks to a hurricane moving north along the Mexican coast, according to the National Weather Service. From Thursday to Saturday, the region's mountains, foothills and deserts could, again, see significant rainfall - this time because of Hurricane Priscilla, the National Weather Service warned. Last month, a similar pattern that pulled moisture north from Tropical Storm Mario triggered dangerous mudslides in the San Bernardino County mountains and flooding in the Inland Empire that killed one child."
"However, local forecasts don't yet expect rainfall will be as dramatic this week. Widespread flood alerts were issued for Southern California as Mario moved north; that hasn't yet occurred this week. But there is a chance that much of the Southland sees some precipitation, though the most concerning rainfall is expected further east into Arizona, Utah and Colorado. There, weather service officials have issued a hazardous weather outlook, warning of the potential for flash flooding, particularly in parts of Colorado and Utah."
Hurricane Priscilla moving north along the Mexican coast could produce unseasonable rain and thunderstorms across Southern California from Thursday through Saturday. Mountains, foothills and deserts in San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego counties have the highest chance for heavier rainfall and thunderstorms. Some localized storms could produce 1 to 2 inches of rain and potential flash flooding. Urban and coastal areas are likely to see minimal rainfall but cloudier, muggier conditions and slightly warmer temperatures by Friday. The greatest concern for heavy rain and flash flooding shifts farther east into Arizona, Utah and Colorado.
