From the National Weather Service for a flash flood watch: FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY EVENING
* MOISTURE FROM TROPICAL STORM IVO WILL GET DRAWN UP FROM THE
SOUTH ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MOJAVE DESERT AND SOUTHERN GREAT
BASIN BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT AND WILL LINGER OVER THE AREA
THROUGH MONDAY. A JET STREAM OVER THE AREA WILL PROVIDE LARGE
SCALE LIFT AND WILL COMBINE WITH THE MOISTURE TO CREATE THE
POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. THERE
WILL BE TIMES DURING THE WATCH PERIOD WHERE RAINFALL INTENSITY
IS NOT THAT HIGH BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR BURSTS OF HEAVY RAIN
EXISTS FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY MONDAY EVENING.
* NORMALLY DRY WASHES AND DRAINAGE CHANNELS MAY CONTAIN FLOWING
WATER AT TIMES. WATER FLOWING ACROSS ROADWAYS MAY MAKE THOSE
ROADS IMPASSABLE. BURN AREAS FROM RECENT FIRES WILL BE
ESPECIALLY PRONE TO FLASH FLOODING AND DEBRIS FLOW.

Call me skeptical but when the weather forecasters say it will rain, that's a good sign it won't and when it rains, these same forecasters at surprised that it rained.
We will see come Monday, won't we.
