...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. Rock and
  mud slides are possible near steep terrain. Debris flows are
  possible on burn scars.

* WHERE...A portion of southwest California, including the following
  areas, most of Central and Southern Los Angeles County, all of
  Ventura County, and most of Central and Southern Ventura County,
  including several burn scar areas.

* WHEN...From Monday morning through Monday evening.

* IMPACTS...Flash flooding is possible. Excessive runoff may result
  in flooding of low-lying and flood-prone locations, including
  creeks and streams. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban
  areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Extensive street
  flooding is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A line of heavy showers and thunderstorms will sweep across
    the region on Monday, bringing the risk for flash flooding,
    rock and mud slides, and burn-scar debris flows across the
    Flood Watch area. After the passage of the line, scattered
    heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue into Monday
    evening, prolonging the flooding risk in isolated locations.
    Flooding and burn-scar debris flows are not expected for
    areas above the snow level, of approximately 6000 feet to
    6500 feet elevation, where snow will fall instead of rain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop. Travel through passes and
canyons could become dangerous, and be alert for rock slides and mud
slides. Follow the direction of Emergency Management and Law
Enforcement officials.
