Over the weekend we received 2.95" of rain at King and VanNess here on the westside. Bonny Doon logged 6.31 inches. It was wet, and the local creeks are running today. I bet a hike up in Fall Creek would be nice on a day like today. Crisp, but with some sunshine filtering through the canopy, and the waterfalls all running. Yeah, that sun even came out today. Missed the sunset, but I bet it was bonus. Sunrise Tuesday should be good as well. The ocean is a bunch of mixed up swell, but morning is the best shot for some rides tomorrow. Clouds and wind fill in during the day, with rain returning by nightfall. Looks like we could get another half inch here in town by mid day Wednesday, with more in the mountains. This system looks like it will move swiftly and stay mainly to our north, giving us some shadowing and keeping us from getting drenched again. Just want to point out again that the ground is already saturated and with no where for the water to go easily, we could could see some urban flooding, high creeks and water in the street. Drive carefully for that afternoon commute.
We get a break Wednesday. The morning drive could be wet, but it looks like the heaviest rain will be over by mid morning. Showers could continue into the afternoon. Thursday looks nice and sunny. A large swell arrives Wednesday and subsides a bit Thursday. The winds should ease a bit Thursday and maybe turn favorable. More on that tomorrow. The big news is two storms sliding down the coast this coming weekend. Between the two of them, we could see an excess of two inches of rain in town. The good news is the second one looks like it will hit SoCal pretty decently, providing much needed rain to the southern coastline. I'll update date on these storms as they approach. For now, know the heaviest rain will be Friday afternoon and night, and again Saturday night and Sunday morning. But it could be wet through both days this weekend. Movies, wet hikes aquariums and museums look like the options out there.
