These graphics show the most likely scenario we see with the coming storm. However, due to higher than usual model discrepancies, there is a chance the rain (snow & wind) will be somewhat lower. Chances are HIGH that we will see rain, timing & amounts are lower certainty. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/B4cXc8z5pu

The current rainfall totals are projected to be 2 to 3 inches from Sunday through Wednesday for most of the area.
Projected snow levels right now are in the 7,000-foot 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.

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
