Site:  Southern California Weather Force has issued a Flood Watch effective now through Thursday …

Date:  11/28/18 at 10:00am PT

Forecast: A very strong storm system coming into the region will bring a round of heavy precipitation tonight through Thursday.  The timing of the frontal zone for the Vandenberg and SLO areas will be 8pm tonight, Santa Barbara by midnight, Los Angeles, Orange, The Inland Empire, and San Diego by Thursday morning. 

The frontal zone has the power to bring a period of very heavy rainfall for all burn areas in the forecast area, including Malibu and into the Holy Fire areas as well.  All burn areas need to be on high alert.  Another round later Thursday has more thunderstorm potential with it so the watch continues.. and may need to be upgraded to a thunderstorm product before that hits.
