Hurricane Dolores coming up from Baja will morph inot a tropical depression but is expected to stall off the Southern California coast sending in waves of unstable precip into the state Sunday and Monday.
Pictured are several graphic representations of what is expected to happen in coming days including ( lower map – precip accumulation) near 2 inches coming into the the Santa Barbara area over the next 5 days and 1.6 inches in the Sierra.
SLO forecaster John Lindsey says today “This morning’s model runs are indicating between one quarterand three quarters of an inch of rain could accumulate throughout San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. Even higher amounts of precipitation is advertise in the coastal mountains.
If these models verify, it could be the most rain we’ve ever received during the month of July. The previous record for San Luis Obispo was 0.46 inches set in 1950.”
