Finally.

Posted today, but written last night...

A few hundredths of an inch here in town this after.  It came in two spurts, and has settled into a mild drizzle.  Almost feels like fog at this point, but we had some for real rain earlier today.  Just never lasted more than a few minutes.  We could still see a few ore drops out there.  It is currently raining to our west and south.  Chances remain slim, yet, it rained during period that had a slim chance for rain today.  We only got a little rain here today.  Sacramento Airport receive over a inch and a half.  In general, the Central Valley and west slope received the heaviest rain.  Down south, Santa Barbara was the big winner with over 2/3 of an inch.  The Sierra got hit pretty well, with 4/10 of an inch at Yosemite and Mammoth Lakes, and 3/4 of an inch at Tahoe and almost an inch at Manzanita Lake near Mount Lassen.  We got some rain across the state.  Good for us.



Small NW swell arrives tomorrow. It is already showing at Cape Mendocino.  Nothing big, but another sign that fall is here.  Clouds clear out in the morning, and forecast sticks.  Sunny days, about 70F, and clear nights about 50F.  Warming trend over the weekend, possibly pushing 80F at Harvey West.  At least mid 70s here in town.

I'll take a few days to watch Sergio.  He is strong right now.  Impressive from sate little.  Moving toward the west with sustained 130 mph winds.  He is to slow over the next few days, weaken a bit, then turn northeast.  By Monday, he will be headed back toward Baja as a strong tropical storm and could re-strengthen.  Something to watch, and should send us some strange swell.  In fact, we already have some on the way for the weekend, form the southeast agin, due to the past few days of Sergio moving north.  Interesting times.  And the NPAC continues to stir.

Enjoy the next few days with mostly sunny conditions and warm daytime highs.  Enjoy fall.
