The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning Monday afternoon as thunderstorms posed a threat to rural Riverside County.
The National Weather Service has issued flash flood warnings for portions of rural Riverside and San Bernardino counties amid heavy rain from thunderstorms Monday afternoon. Drivers were urged not to attempt to drive through flooded roads, with the service noting most flood deaths occur when people become trapped inside their vehicles. The flash flood warnings cover Joshua Tree National Park, the mountains south of Palm Desert and the I-10 Corridor in the Desert Center area west of Blythe.
Monday's warnings follow flooding last weekend in the Twentynine Palms community just north of Joshua Tree National Park. According to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, six people had to be rescued from their vehicles. Austin Jamison, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Phoenix, said the flooding was due to the desert's monsoon season, but skies should be clearer soon.
