thunder and lightning coming our way?
This just in from the National Weather Service:
... A Flash Flood Warning remains in effect until 400 PM PDT for east
central Los Angeles County including the southeast portion of the
Antelope Valley and eastern San Gabriel Mountains...
At 236 PM PDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar continued to
indicate strong thunderstorms over the southeast portion of the Antelope
Valley and the eastern San Gabriel Mountains. Between 1 PM and 240 PM... the
strongest storm affected Highway 138... southeast of Llano... extending
southward into the San Gabriel Mountains... including the cities of Big
Pines and Wrightwood. This strong thunderstorm complex was very slow
moving... with a weather spotter in Wrightwood estimating rainfall of
around 2 inches in 30 minutes. In addition... 4 to 6 inches of water
was flowing in the roadways... with flooding of yards and streets.
Additional storms are developing on the northwest flank of this thunderstorm
complex... moving towards Palmdale... including highways 14 and 138.
And the web cam's catching the first hint of thunderhead clouds coming over
the San Gabriels, this could get exciting! (too bad I'm at work here in Bell Gardens)
