Transmitting from the Mojavee Wilderness in Joshua Tree, California, now is the time for Desert Oracle Radio, the voice of the desert.

Night has fallen on the desert.

And if you are in the western Mojave around Joshua Train National Park and all the way out to Kelso Depot and Las Vegas, You might already have the buckets out for any newly discovered leaks in the roof.

Because rain is in the forecast for the whole region up to 80% chance of heavy rain tonight in Yucca Valley.

And really getting soaked along the Mexican border.

Flood watch, in effect, from Yuma to Lake Havasu City,

rain possible throughout the weekend.

And even if you miss the deluge,

cooler temperatures are forecast

through Sunday

all because of

Hurricane K

not the greatest

hurricane name because it sounds

like the letter K

and not what

is apparently a name

K-A-Y.

Like OK without the O.

OK hurricane.

Imagine how nuts people wouldn't go if the National Weather Service had a hurricane queue.

So the cloud cover and the rainfall will be much appreciated with the flooding generally less appreciated.
