Botched that one.

Yup.  Yesterday was not sunny.  That is what happens when you don't double check the morning run of the models.  This system started to split up a bit, and the result was for a good portion of it to run ahead and spill over us in the middle of the day Friday.  Instead of a brief period of light to moderate rain, we got about 30 hours of sporadic drizzle.  It was sure a different day than Thursday when folks were walking around topless on West Cliff.  Well, guy folks.  This is not the revolution.

Thursday was California Dreamin'.  Toasty in the sun on West Cliff.  And a big swell was running.

Just a brief statement tonight as the next system begins to wind up.  Looks like we will be getting the rain later tomorrow evening and into Monday.  About a 1/2 inch from SF south.  About an inch in the Sierra.  Expect a foot or more along the crest.  All in all, a bit wetter than what we got Friday and this morning.  But as far as this winter goes, it was pretty wet.  Only a dusting up in the mountains, but word is Kirkwood was skiing well.  And the Wednesday system looks like it could be edging closer to the coast and maybe make it as far east as Tahoe.  More on all of this Sunday.  For now, make plans to enjoy the morning.  Clouds will fill in early and rain could be here as early as in the afternoon (but I bet we make it until sunset before anything too heavy starts).

So, just a quick note tonight.  Best weather in the morning Sunday.  Cloud fill in. Then rain.  Wet morning commute Monday.  And that could stick around for the evening drive as well.  A bit better on Tuesday, but not much.  Another wave possible for Wednesday.  Thursday and Friday look nice.
