Rain Totals Map

We have seen a lot of rain over the past few days and while the majority of it has already passed we aren't done just yet. Here is a look at some of the rain totals so far (as of 6 a.m.)

Overnight a few heavy rain bands pushed through causing concern for local flooding overnight. While the alert has expired there was even a flood watch for much of the region overnight.

The band of rain is still actively creating drizzle across the region but the good news is that will not last long. A high pressure system is speeding south and will cut the low pressure off from the coasts. Sunshine will move in and stick around well into December!

Getting back to the storm. Drizzle will stick around through much of the day on Tuesday. There is still up to a half inch of rain possible from this lingering storm but for most just a few tenths of an inch. Long story short the lion's share of this system has already passed.

Showers will linger into this evening, especially for interior valleys of SLO county, but will gradually taper off. By Wednesday, conditions will dry out as the storm system exits the region, with increasing sunshine and a slight warming trend.

Temperatures will remain below average today but will start to rebound on Wednesday, with highs returning to the mid-60s.

For Thanksgiving, dry and mostly sunny weather is expected for the holiday as high pressure builds over the region. Temperatures will continue to warm, reaching the mid-60s along the coast and near 70 in sheltered valleys.

We will keep the clear skies and warmer weather into the first week of December.

Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
