BURN AREAS WATCHED CLOSELY DURING RAINS

BURN AREAS WATCHED CLOSELY DURING THIS WEEK’S RAIN
Once again emergency responders are closely watching the burned areas from last year’s extensive wildfires—attuned to the possibility that rainfall could trigger devastating mudslides, particularly in parts of Pauma Valley and Palomar Mountain that were denuded of vegetation about a year ago.
On Monday and Tuesday flash flood warnings were issued for the burn areas.
Local residents who want to find out for themselves how these areas are viewed as this week’s expected heavy rainfall hits will find much information at the National Oceanic and Aeronautical Administration (NOAA) Web site.
