Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper-level low pressure area moving slowly northeast over the lower deserts, and an associated weak disturbance aloft triggered a slow moving thunderstorm in the lower Coachella Valley near the community of Mecca just after midnight PST. With abundant moisture extending from the surface to 400 mb, and precipitable water values between 1.8 and over 2.2 inches, this storm remained nearly stationary from approximately 0200 through 0800 PST and produced between 3 and 5.5 inches of rainfall near Mecca (approximately 30 miles southeast of Palm Springs, CA). In addition, radar estimates were between 5 and 8 inches. Most of the rain fell between 0200 and 0400 PST, which resulted in a rare and damaging flash flooding in this area. This was eventually found to be a 1000-year flood event.
