There is a lot to be aware of this evening along the Central Coast, so let's get into it.
There are two weather alerts in our area tonight, the first being a Flash Flood Warning. This will be in effect through 7 p.m., and means that if you are within the highlighted green area below, you should be prepared for flash flooding.
The next alert is an Areal Flood Watch, which means there is potential for flooding in this area, but just because you are within the green area shown below, doesn't mean you will necessarily see it. This is in effect through 11 p.m. in Kern County and until 5 a.m. Friday near Ventura.
There are 3 different kinds of weather alerts we will talk to you about. Here is an outline of the differences between the three. Today, we are only talking about a watch and a warning.
These are the rain totals you can expect to see, and when you will see them.
Now that we've covered those, let's get into what you can expect for highs tomorrow, and what weather will look like this weekend.
