PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

The saturated ground has produced conditions ripe for landslides and
debris flows on steep slopes around the area. Residents with homes
on or at the base of hillsides should be aware of the potential for
landslides and watch for trees leaning in unusual orientations,
water and mud seepage where not expected and other signs of
potential ground movement.
