The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for the Woolsey, Hill, South, and Stone burn
  scars in Los Angeles and eastern Ventura Counties.

* From 5 AM PST until 1 PM PST Thursday.

* Peak rainfall rates from 0.50 to 0.75 inches per hour.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Flash flooding and debris flows will be a particular threat in

A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

Southern California residents, in or below the recently burned
areas are urged to take the steps necessary to protect their
property. Persons in the watch area should remain alert and
follow directions of emergency preparedness officials.
