Fire and Fury.

Well, not so much the fire.  This storm is producing.  1.85" here on the west side already and the storm has seemed to slowed its southerly progress, keeping us in the bullseye.  Dumping right now at the rate of two tenths of an inch per hour.  That is solid.  Even more solid is 2.3 inches in Scotts Valley.  And Love Creek in Felton coming in at 4.75 inches as of 8:45PM.  What didn't show up was the strong winds.  Sure, it is 25mph, gusting to 30mph out on the buoys, but nearshore and on land it has been pretty mild.  7mph on the wharf.  Out of the southwest.  Anyway, we are still looking at the bulk of this system being south of us by the morning commute. Remember, that is still nine hours away.  If we get a few more hours at this rate of rain, we will easily be over two inches in town and six inches in the mountains.  Still enough water to make Highway 17 a headache.  Leave early.  Allow time.  Still looking at clearing by mid day Tuesday, a nice Wednesday and clearing into the weekend. I still think we will hit 70F here in town.  Get ready for some puddle stomping tomorrow.

Check in tomorrow for rain and snow totals.  Yeah, some high elevation snow is happening.  As well as the look out for the coming week and a preview of next week's rain.
