Flood watch issued for Mono, Mineral, and southern Lyon counties

MONO COUNTY, California (KOLO) - A flood watch has been issued for Mono County, Mineral County, and the southern portion of Lyon County ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Hilary.

The watch will last from Sunday afternoon through Monday night.

The National Weather Service in Reno says to expect significant moisture from the hurricane that might result in periods of moderate to heavy rainfall.

They do say, however, that the greatest rainfall will be in Mono and Mineral County, increasing the risk of flash floods and debris flow.
