Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper-level low from Baja cut underneath a large area of seasonably strong high pressure aloft, tapping into lingering monsoonal moisture to produce showers and thunderstorms over the mountains and deserts, as well as a few along the coastal areas, with heavy rain at times. The activity on the 2nd consisted of elevated thunderstorms with lightning along the coast during the morning and a few thunderstorms over the San Bernardino County mountains. Rain and rapid cooling in one of these storms resulted in several bicyclists being treated for hypothermia during the Tour de Big Bear race. This elevated convection became intense and transitioned into numerous strong thunderstorms on the 3rd, focusing more on the mountains and deserts and closing several roadways due to flooding. Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches occurred in less than 3 hours across steep terrain in the San Bernardino County mountains. The hardest hit areas were Mt Baldy, Forest Falls and Oak Glen where numerous debris flows occurred causing road damage and closures. Incident Command Posts were set up at both Mt Baldy and Valley of the Falls. A weather station in Mt Baldy reported 4 inches of rain in less than 2 hours. Swift water rescues were performed in Mt Baldy along the LA County line. There was also a large area of 1 to 2.5 inches of rain in low-lying areas and deserts, including 2.73 inches in one hour at the Borrego ALERT gage. The Fish Creek RAWS in the San Diego County desert recorded 2.77 inches of rain in one hour, resulting in moderate flooding and the subsequent closure of Fish Creek Road through August 8th. Heavy rain west of the mountains produced flash flooding in Redlands and Ramona. A large sink hole developed in Redland due to heavy rainfall. San Bernardino County was the hardest hit with flash flooding, with 25 homes damaged and approximately $11 million in damage county-wide for this event. Full storm surveys were done from Mill Creek near Forest Falls, to Oak Glen, to Lytle Creek and through out Mt Baldy on August 4th.
