Spot On.

We received a total of one inch of rain yesterday and are standing at .79 inches today.  That puts us 1.2 inch since yesterday's post.  We may still see some more rain this evening, but chances are dwindling.  This morning's rain sure out performed expectations today, but last night under produced.  But overall, we are spot on. It is difficult to find the exact timing go the intense bands.  I can see stars outside, but there is still another band just south of us that may produce some more showers. The winds are down.  This afternoon the wind at Long Marine Lab was 13 mph.  A far cry from last nights breezy condition.

The high pressure filling in is pretty weak.  A storm is going to just miss us to our north tomorrow.  Perhaps more clouds than previously thought.  Maybe a hair cooler.  The surf is up.  In fact, it is XXL style.  I was able to see third reef Middle Peak break from my house today.  I live just off Escalona Drive, so a mile from the water and not really up the hill.  My view is not of near shore, but open ocean.  Typically.  Winds are turning easterly to south easterly overnight and Friday, perhaps cleaning things up a bit.  If you are thinking of venturing out, be sure you know what your are doing.  In general, stay away from the edge of cliffs and be ware of cresting and crashing waves as they hit the rocks.

We still see a chance for light rain Sunday.  Chances have increased, but still expecting less than a tenth inch in town.  Cooler air mass arrives Monday.  Sunnier and calmer weather.  So lows drop into the low 40s and highs rise in to the low 60s.  Next chance of series rain looks like it will be in February. So, after this weekend, we will be taking the tally and see how it stacks up to average.
