San Luis Obispo County will be under a flood watch from Tuesday morning through Wednesday evening as a strong atmospheric river storm is expected to drench the county in rainfall, according to the National Weather Service.

The height of the storm will hit after 10 a.m. on Tuesday and continue through Wednesday. Expect rain, winds and hazardous travel conditions, according to the National Weather Service.

“Heavy rainfall is expected with high rainfall rates,” according to the national Weather Service. “So, widespread urban flooding will be possible along with mud and debris flows across all foothills and mountain areas.”

Forecasters warn those living in areas prone to flooding be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

I don’t see flooding being much of a problem this early in the rain season, once the ground is saturated is when the flooding starts.

The DEFERRED MAINTENANCE on roads and bridges will be the cause for substantial damages. Next are the applications for disaster grants that will (may) fund the repairs. Sad to say but this is the funding evolution that PUBLIC WORKS depends on. For accountability, following the money through every level of government, slice of pie, will be impossible due to the layers of that cost. The burden of having to do without, which hinges on an abusive funding process, is a burden placed on we taxpayers. This is one of the reasons I do not support the proliferation of grant programs in government.
