The worst of the storm has passed. We’ve had peak wind gusts above 60-70 mph on the Central Coast with several downed trees/power lines. Wind has now mostly subsided. Rain totals as of Monday morning sat at 1 to 3 inches on the Central Coast, 2 to 4 inches on the South Coast, and 5 to 8 inches in the foothills and mountains. The storm shifted more easterly to LA County where it has stalled, with some areas even receiving 10 inches of rain.
We will now continue to see scattered showers in our area. Some isolated rain cells could be heavier, but most should be on the light to moderate side. There is a 20-30% chance of thunderstorms through Tuesday night. We could see an additional 1 to two inches of rain through Wednesday in most areas, and 2 to 4 inches in foothills. There will likely be another organized band of rain on Wednesday evening.
SLO and Santa Barbara Counties are at a slight risk of flash flooding, and Ventura County is at a moderate risk. We will still have very strong flow in rivers and creeks. The Ventura River reached above monitor stage, but did not reach above flood stage.
