There’s a lot to see on the Central Coast this evening, so let’s get started.
There are two weather warnings in place for our area this evening. The first is a flash flood warning. This is in effect until 7pm and means that if you are in the area marked in green below, you should be prepared for flash flooding.
The next warning is a Flood Warning, which means there is a risk of flooding in the area. Just because you are in the green area shown below doesn’t mean you will see it. This warning is in effect until 11 p.m. in Kern County and until 5 a.m. Friday near Ventura.
We will introduce you to three different types of weather warnings. Here is an overview of the differences between the three types. Today we will only talk about an observation and a warning.
These are the expected amounts of rain and when it will occur.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s look at what high temperatures you can expect tomorrow and what the weather will be like this weekend.
