Saturday will start off just fine but clouds will be on the increase throughout the morning.
A few scattered showers are possible in the afternoon in northern SLO county but a better chance of rain is Saturday night into Sunday across both SLO and SB counties.

This system is looking similar to yesterday on modeling with .10-75″ possible. Some isolated spots could see 1+”. Snow levels around 5000ft.

How much rain from the system later today thru Sunday? .10-.75″ has been my forecast… I will stick with it based on the morning modeling.
There is a slight chance of thunderstorms with the Saturday-Sunday rain, but I think the threat is marginal.
Saturday night, the Santa Maria Fire Department tweeted three fire hydrants had been sheared due to car accidents in the rain.

The instability aloft could keep some activity going into Sunday PM. Sunday will be a windy day with NW winds 15-30mph, and it’ll be generally cool with partly cloudy skies outside of some hit and miss showers.
Monday looks partly cloudy.
Another storm is possible Tuesday-Wednesday of next week.
Models are trending to the main impact of this system heading north with showers for the Central Coast. This will be yet another snow-maker for CA mountains. This system needs to be watched because a track change could could put significant rain on the Central Coast but right now it looks like .10-.50″ potential is a better bet.
