Upper-level divergence from an Upper-level trough off the southern CA coast led to the development of a southwest to northeast oriented rain band across the eastern half of Imperial County. Although rainfall intensity for the most part was light to moderate, precipitable water values ranging between 1.5-1.8 supported pockets of heavier rainfall rates with areas across southeastern Imperial County observing total rainfall accumulations of 1-2 inches, including across Ogliby Road where flash flooding was observed.
