Flash-flood warning issued for mountains and deserts

RIVERSIDE – Heavy rainfall could produce flash floods in the mountains and deserts of Riverside County Thursday amid a late-summer heat wave expected to last in the inland region until this weekend, forecasters said.

Measurable amounts of rain expected to fall in the mountains and Coachella Valley Thursday have prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Flash Flood Watch for each region, lasting from noon until this evening.
