Large portions of the area have been severely burned. These areas no longer absorb any rainfall, which can lead to enhanced runoff and possible debris flows. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches are forecast over the burn scar area from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning, moderate to heavy rainfall is possible for several hours. Be prepared to take action in the case of flash floods, rockslides and or debris flows.
