Rain Next Week.

So much going on.  So, today started fog free, but then some fog moved in to the Eastside around 8AM and hung out for a few hours. At around 4PM, it was raining up at Any Nuevo.  Not a fog rain, as the grey was over the mountains, but clue out to sea.  I think this was a very southern band of moisture from a very weak system just off the PNW. The real power of the that system is actually several hundred miles east, and it will come into play for Tuesday's event.  Anyway, fog is in tonight and will likely be around for the early morning hours tomorrow.  A high of about 70F.  A southeast swell from Rosa will fill in around mid morning.  This swell could have some decent size to it, so be careful if you are a novice.  Swell will come up through the day and peak Monday.  Moderate west winds tomorrow.  The moderate south wind today made for some great hiking up at Any, and any bluff location. Nice not to deal with a headwind.

Things look on target for a rain even on Monday night into mid day Tuesday.  A little cooler to start the work week, but not much.  High of 68F, and that holds through much of the week.  Rosa slams Baja and the Southwest, bringing very heavy rains to the desert regions.  Hope all do well with the flash flood conditions expected.  Rosa will be downgraded to a tropical storm prior to landfall, but will still pull in lots of moisture.  In fact, it pulls in a moderate low pressure in out from our west late Monday. Rain arrives from the south on Monday night.  We could see some heavy rains on the south facing slopes of the local mountains. Maybe a half inch here in town.  Impressive for early October.  The worst of the rain dissipates on Tuesday, but to our south they could continue to see more through Wednesday.  The storm forth north and the storm from the south keep us mild.

High pressure moves back in Thursday and NW winds whip up fro Friday, as we move back into a summer like pattern for next weekend.  The tropics remain active, and Sergio is out there to the south of Rosa.Fantasy models have Sergio also eventually recurving to the north and toward the California coast and dissipating just off Pt Conception two weeks from now.  Something to watch for sure.
