Good Tuesday morning,

Last night after the rain stopped, the clouds parted for a great sunset from the freeway. 

Rain!! What a wonderful word for California. We saw light to moderate rain Monday and last night.

Rain totals are a good start for the storm, but the real rain will come later in the day. So far mountain areas have seen around an inch of rain and local areas ½ inch.

Montecito is approaching an inch so far.  https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/lox/scripts/getlocal.php?prod=LAXRRMSBA

Earlier this morning rain was falling locally, but the bulk of the rain is over LA and San Francisco right now.

Zoom Earth shows it well https://zoom.earth/  Today we are expecting lots of additional rain and extremely heavy later in the day.

Rain will resume in our area around 7 am hour and it will pick up throughout the day. This afternoon we will see the heaviest rain with rates in a few locations later this afternoon can see 1 to 1.5 inches per hour and .50 to .75 in 20 minutes, yes that is a downpour.

Rain will continue through tonight then taper off Wednesday morning. All in all, we will have great totals for November.

1 to 3 inches coastal, 2 to 5 in foothills and mountains, and up to 6 inches on south-facing mountains “yes thats SB mountains“.

Enjoy the fun, we will have totals for you on Wednesday morning.

Be careful on the road, there were lots of accidents yesterday.
