this particular part of the country well we re looking really across los angeles, another two to three inches and again we ve seen some reports there and maybe 2 inches los angeles it does not rain in august. .001 and more to come and even heavy rain further off towards the north and off towards east and actually we do suspect that the heaviest rein will be interior portions of the state. all of those oranges you re seeing here as this continues to track itself in, those are talking about maybe 5 to 6 inches of rain but definitely isolated areas with 8 to 10 inches that s higher elevation that s when you start to think about mudslides all of this water then rushes its way down into the valleys and flooding becomes major concern now this entire system then will ultimately as you look towards more like monday and tuesday, even bring some fairly serious rain up into portions of idaho. so this is a large storm that has so much moisture with it, it
barricades on either side of those closures. but some actual officers position there to keep people from driving through. because they say that is where they really start to see the need for swift water rescues when people try to drive through that standing water unaware of just how deep it is or how fast moving it is. the washes you see all across the desert here can quickly become rushing rivers. and in a matter of minutes, eric that can be really shocking to put in prptive nicole palm springs gets basically 5 inches of rain, 5 all year now it is beginning to be like 3 an hour. and that could cause that problem a moment ago arthel and jonathon was talking about the snakes that they re warning because the snakes in the hills coming down through water. what are they saying about that there have you heard those same warnings about what people should watch out for? sure well you mention rainfall there eric and we know this could equal to almost a
further warnings. that water could be full of rattlesnakes nobody wants to see those in the water so just stay out of any standing water. arthel: absolutely. jonathon hunt thank you very much live there in santa monica. eric. eric: right now tropical storms really rare in southern california. the last one happened 84 years ago that was back in 1939. let s take live look now at imperial beach, california, you re looking south of san diego. the governor gavin newsom declared a state of miranda emey for much of the south land as storm is closing in and expected to dump torrential rain on the bone dry areas in the southwest but for moving as far north as idaho one place that is expected to be hit is in palm springs, california. fox weather correspondent nicole valdes there where it s a desert, about to get a potential deluge. nicole.
year s worth of rain in a matter of 48 hours. so that is definitely a cause for concern here, and really the point of why you see so many people taking advantage of the resources available really those sand bags, getting their food and water at their grocery stores before the rain picks up later on today. i do want to point out you mention that state of emergency we know there are emergency officials in place that includes both the california national guard, and the coast guard for those on the west coast there. they also are really just expecting to have to respond to some sort of threat whether it is those flash-floods, or really anything else at this point. yeah anything else, i mean, don t go in standing water no matter where you live could be electrical lines, snakes water can be powerful you don t expect it we ll get back to you later on in the next hour. nicole thank you. arthel: the question is what is yet to come?
