Good Sunday morning,
Waking up this morning you will see the rain is back. Today we have a weaker system rolling through that will cause rain for the first half of the day.
Radar shows the rain falling currently https://radar.weather.gov/station/KVTX/standard
We are expecting around ½ of an inch out of this system, with a few areas in northern SLO mountains seeing 1 to 2.5 inches at locations like rocky butte. This will fall apart as it reaches LA, meaning just some rain will occur there, ¼ inch or less.
A slight break this afternoon, then here we go again tonight. The opening act will begin to play into the weather. This will start out with lighter rain tonight and most of Monday . by the time Monday night comes the headline act starts, and it will blow us up. then the encore for Tuesday.
“All in fun showing this as a concert “ Monday night and Tuesday is the heart of the storm.
This will be a great system with lots of heavy rain. Rain rates will be ½ inch to 1 inch PER HOUR. the heaviest rain comes in 2 punches Monday night and Tuesday.
Rain total will be 2 to 4 inches coastal, 3 to 5 inches south facing areas “like us in SB and Montecito”. 4 to 8 inches in the mountains, and up to 10 inches in some hills in SLO . “wow”
With the grounds being saturated with all the rains, this is going to make creeks and rivers flow fast. some flooding is likely in some areas.
Rain clears out on Tuesday night, then a ridge builds in for 2 days with dry weather Wednesday and Thursday.
Friday, yes, another system rolls in. If that’s not enough they are calling for another big system next weekend and are still on the storm track for another week after that.
We are in the middle of the wettest period in a long time. it is amazing to me, but I love it. let’s fill those lakes!
Amazing changes to the lake levels. Nacimiento is now 40% full https://www.co.monterey.ca.us/home/showdocument?id=22189 Cachuma 36.5 and climbing Dashboard (cosbpw.net)
I was in the Santa Ynez valley yesterday and the hills are all green and so pretty, with water running into lake Cachuma. It is a beautiful site.
Ok, that's all for today, from weather😊

Thank you for coming up to do the demo for the Career Fair at Los Prietos. All the boys were fascinated by the chance to see how sheet metal is formed, and to do some of it themselves. A hands-on demo is always the most effective in getting the boys involved. We really appreciate your arranging the demo, especially since you had already put so much energy into the talk and demo you did for the Construction Technology class. The teaching and Probation staff were all impressed by how involved the boys were in your demo.Richard Anderson Instructor
