San Bernardino County is currently under a flood watch from the National Weather Service, valid from Saturday evening until early Monday morning. This alert indicates that conditions are favorable for flooding, with excessive rainfall potentially leading to flash floods.
The National Weather Service Las Vegas NV has warned that excessive runoff could cause flooding in rivers, creeks, and other flood-prone locations, particularly in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may also be affected. Residents are urged to monitor future forecasts and be ready to respond if flash flood warnings are issued.
The NWS provides clear distinctions for weather alerts: a flash flood warning means immediate action is needed as a flash flood is imminent or occurring. A flood warning signifies that flooding is underway or about to happen. A flood advisory indicates potential inconvenience, while a flood watch means conditions are ripe for flooding but it is not yet guaranteed.
