Hydrologic Forecast for Extreme Southwestern California
National Weather Service San Diego CA
403 PM PDT Wed Aug 27 2025

...Flash Flood Potential Index for Extreme Southwestern California...

.SYNOPSIS...
Isolated thunderstorms will continue this afternoon along the
desert slopes of the mountains in Riverside and San Diego Counties
into the adjacent deserts. Peak hourly rainfall will most be one-
quarter inch or less.

For late tonight into Thursday evening, there will be increasing
moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Juliette with
scattered showers spreading northeastward across portions of
southwestern California. The most likely locations for
thunderstorms on Thursday should be toward the northern edge of
the moisture where cloud cover is less and daytime heating
greater, though the trend has been for the moisture/thick cloud
cover to move further north, decreasing thunderstorm chances with
only a low risk of flash flooding. There is a 10% chance of
showers over San Bernardino Mountains on Friday afternoon with
rainfall rates below 0.25 inch per hour.
