The current rainfall totals are projected to be 2 to 5 inches from Sunday through Wednesday for coastal and valley areas, and between 4 to 8 inches in the foothills and mountains.
Projected snow levels right now are in the 7,000 elevation range.
Weather forecasters say with the amount of rain we saw last week, significant hydrologic issues — especially in the hills where more mudslides and rockslides — could follow.
