Predicted heavy rainfall and thunderstorms in Central California

Central California residents are bracing themselves for a storm that is expected to hit the region on Thursday and last until Friday. The storm, related to Tropical Storm Mario, is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds, potentially impacting Thursday Night Football games in the region. A Flood Watch is in effect for most of Central California from 2 pm Thursday until 5 pm Friday, with cities such as Oak Glen, Forest Falls, and Potato Canyon in San Bernardino County at risk of flooding. The storm is expected to begin around 8 pm Thursday and continue into the overnight hours, so drivers should take extra caution during their commutes. The storm will also bring lower temperatures, with 80-degree days ending before a return to the low 90s. PG&E advises people to charge their devices, have flashlights and backup batteries, and have nonperishable food ready in case of an outage. Stay tuned for updates on the storm's progress and its impact on Central California, including any changes to Thursday Night Football schedules.
