Weather Forecast for Wednesday, Oct. 21

That is correct. Good morning. Good morning, Bob. We are on storm watch and latest storm system set to arrive later today. And we're going to time it all out for you. Meantime, enjoy what we've got going on right now. It's calm, it's quiet, and we've got mostly clear conditions and a few clouds. But eventually the storm, once it arrives, here are the impacts. We're anticipating rainfall through tomorrow. And how much rain are we anticipating on getting? about a range of three-quarters of an inch, an inch to even two inches mainly, and for foothills and mountain communities vulnerable to the upslope flow, 1.5 to even three inches is possible. And we add thunderstorms. This is a very unstable air mass, and it could lead to about even a 30% to 40% chance that a thunderstorm could develop over your area, and that could lead to heavier downpours. It can create the possibility of mudslides and debris flow. We have a flood watch that will be in place for the Santa Monica Mountains later this afternoon and will stay in place through tomorrow afternoon. Winds will be gusting about 25 miles per hour, a little stronger than the snow. It's going to be really high. Snow impacts. The snow level is right around 8,000 feet. And we're looking at a lot of moisture and already bringing up some moisture just offshore and expected to arrive across areas of Southern California later today. And here's the timing out of the futurecast as it stands currently. Light to moderate rain seeping into Ventura County first, and Oxnard will see some of the earlier onslaught of this latest storm system. And then out towards Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu could see some of that rain activity as early as perhaps even 9, 10, but to this one right around 11 o'clock. And as we move it forward through the afternoon, L.A. County will be impacted. Orange County may get a light shower or two but the heavier stuff for Orange County will arrive later this afternoon and into the IE we go and we're not done yet overnight we'll get more rainfall roadways will continue to be slick and here comes another round pushing out towards the IE and into our mountain communities for your Thursday afternoon slowly drying up perhaps just lingering moisture for late Thursday and into early Friday and then we clear up really nice for the weekend.
