Flood Watch

* WHAT...Significant and widespread flooding caused by excessive rainfall will be likely, with potential debris flow impacts across recent burn scars.

* WHERE...For all areas of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

* WHEN...From Tuesday afternoon through Thursday evening.

* IMPACTS...This prolonged strong Atmospheric River storm system will bring periods of heavy rain from late Tuesday into Thursday evening.
