Rain began falling across northern San Luis Obispo County overnight and is continuing this morning and becoming more widespread as a cold front presses into the region. This is just the first of two storms and will be dwarfed by our late week rain chances but will nonetheless be significant.
Showers will begin isolated in northern SLO county to begin the day but will become much more widespread as the morning goes on.
Off and on showers will continue through the day Monday and into
Tuesday as a secondary cold front revitalizes the active pattern.
Here is a look at the rain totals to this point!
For this first portion of our active forecast there is the potential for up to an inch and a half of rain for communities along the south coast and for much of Northern San Luis Obispo county.
Turning to the second storm system that will move onshore this week. A cut off low will move south quickly and bring heavy rain as well as strong southerly winds Wednesday through Friday!
A cut off low will push south through the region and bring much heavier rain, and up to 50 mph winds to the region.
The worst will be felt Wednesday and Thursday with some lingering showers Friday morning as well. All said and done many locations can expect 2 to 4 inches of rain, ON TOP of what will fall through Tuesday.
Stay aware of this storm system as it gets closer.
Crossing all my t's and dotting the i's here is a look at the temps.
Today most locations will fall back into the 60s, still above normal but not too concerning.
Through the week rain will be a staple but temps will stay low.
