The National Weather Service has issued a * Flash Flood Watch for a portion of central California... including the following areas... Indian Wells Valley...

Normally dry creeks and washes can turn into raging... swift moving currents of water in just minutes and become life threatening. A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
