Hints of rain offer some hope

-October 30,2019- 

California could get wet November 10 & 14

Just under  2 weeks out the latest NOAA computer models are indicating a  welcome break in the high-pressure that has choked California with winds and wild fire shutting off power to millions here.

The predictive map shows an increased chance  of rain coming down the California coast and into the state by November 10 and again on the 14th as far south as LA (see map).

This far out there is not a lot of confidence yet in the prediction  but it does offer some hope for a break in this awful pattern.
