Good Thursday morning,

One week from today is Thanksgiving, crazy that the holiday season is upon us. 

With the holiday season each year the rainy season begins, it is hard to believe it has been 6 months since we have seen rain.

Northern California has been getting hammered with rain, but the low pressure is staying to the north and will not move much, which will make the totals and intensity less for us for this first system of the season. https://zoom.earth/

We are very spoiled in southern California thinking we can go this long without real rain. Sure we have had drizzle and some light stuff, but this will be the first real rain.

The good news is the rain intensity and total are getting clearer, and we will now see minimal amounts of rain to start the first real system.

It looks like we will see rain start up overnight Friday, and into Saturday. How much, well here in SB 1/2 an inch to 1 inch of rain during the Friday and Saturday period.

Ventura to LA ¼ to ¾ Saturday. Rain rates will be minimal with 1/10 to ¼ of an inch per hour. This will be helpful in the burn areas in Camarillo.

Sunday is a little more in doubt, but it looks like a mostly dry day until Sunday night. Then the low should begin to move towards us bringing more rain Sunday night into Monday. Looks like another ¼ to ½ inch. All in all SB should see 1 inch or less over the entire period. 

Monday it is possible to see rain to start the day, depending on how the low moves.

Tuesday and Wednesday are still not clear, but it looks like somewhat dry weather into early December.

Ok time to get ready for the first rain, but the next 2 days will be dry until Friday night. today will be warm and sunny.

TURN OFF YOUR SPRINKERS for at least the next week 😊
