This system has been moving numbers around for a while but has been the most consistent in monitoring for Los Angeles westward. It will drop more rain in the watch area, with less for areas south and east, so in areas like San Diego and most of the Inland Empire, you will see less, which is welcomed by some of you for relief. This system is a tail-end Charlie, meaning the very southern end of the frontal zone hitting California.
