DISCUSSION:
Scattered light to moderate showers will be around today, with
possible but isolated thunderstorms or heavy showers. While most
rain rates will be under 0.25 inch, there will likely be a few
showers that produce rates of 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Difficult to say
where those might occur. With the abundant recent rain, these rates
could result in moderate road flooding, and signficant rockslides or
mudslides. Showers decrease in coverage and intensity tonight
through Wednesday. Another storm system will bring widespread rain
on Thursday or Thursday Night, with showers into Friday. Common rain
totals of 0.5 to 1.0 inches look most common, with 1 to 2 inches in
the favored foothills or mountains. There are however 20-30% of the
projections that show double that. If those solutions verify,
because of the abundant recent rains, moderate flooding, rockslide,
and mudslide impacts would be on the table. Dry weather looks to
follow next week.
