Locally heavy rain, flash floods and mud slides are possible in those areas starting tomorrow and continuing through the weekend. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent A weak area of low pressure is located about 1000 miles south- southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.
