URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OXNARD CA
930 AM PST WED NOV 26 1997

...AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE
CUYAMA AND ANTELOPE VALLEYS UNTIL 6 PM...

...AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR 
ALL OF SAN LUIS OBISPO...SANTA BARBARA...VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES 
COUNTIES UNTIL 6 PM...

AT 920 AM...THE LEADING EDGE OF HEAVY RAIN WAS MOVING THROUGH
LOS ANGELES COUNTY...INCLUDING THE ANTELOPE VALLEY. THIS LINE OF 
STORMS IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAIN...WITH INTENSITIES 
AS HIGH AS THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH IN 30 MINUTES. IN ADDITION...
THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE LIGHTNING WITH GUSTY WINDS TO 40 MPH AND 
EVEN SMALL HAIL.

OTHER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE FALLING ACROSS THE REST OF THE
AREA WITH ANOTHER LINE OF STRONG STORMS MOVING INTO WESTERN PORTIONS
OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES. 

STORMS HAVE CAUSED MANY STORM DRAINS AND BASINS TO BECOME QUITE FULL.
BANDS OF STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF SAN LUIS OBISPO...SANTA BARBARA...VENTURA
AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES THROUGH EARLY EVENING. SINCE A LOT OF RAIN HAS
ALREADY FALLEN...THE ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL CAUSE WIDESPREAD
URBAN FLOODING AND PONDING ON ROADWAYS. A COLD AND UNSTABLE AIR
MASS WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TODAY...WITH SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. THEREFORE SOME AREAS COULD RECEIVE
VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS...HAIL...AND GUSTY WINDS OVER 40 MPH.

AN ADVISORY MEANS THAT FLOODING IS OCCURRING OR IS IN THE FORECAST...
BUT IS NOT IMMEDIATELY LIFE-THREATENING. IT IS GENERALLY IN THE
FORM OF STREET FLOODING ODR LOW LYING AREAS SUCH AS FIELDS OR 
UNDERPASSES. RESIDENTS MUST STILL USE GOOD JUDGEMENT AND AVOID
FLOODED AREAS.
