Flood Watch Issued for San Diego County Mountains

The National Weather Service is warning residents to be wary of potential flash floods.

The National Weather Service (NSW) has issued a flash flood watch for San Diego County.

Effective until 7 p.m. Tuesday, the flash floods will be a greatest threat to the mountain regions of the county. Excessive runoff from heavy downpours may cause rapid filling and overflowing of normally dry washes and small creeks, as well as low-lying areas.

The NWS also warns of rock and mud slides below steep terrain in the mountains and recently burned areas.
