California could get a break from this relentless high pressure we have been experiencing, spurring those awful wildfires in southern California.
It is two weeks out but preliminary forecasts show a storm system from the Pacific entering the state around December 20- 21 reaching southern California. Even more encouraging is a stronger one follows on the December 23 with heavy rain (colored dark green and blue) hitting mid-California and expected to move into the southland as well. Pray for rain.
Below these two maps, here is a forecast for Christmas day that shows good rainfall for northern California and about half an inch or so in SLO /Santa Barbara area.
These long range forecasts are a crapshoot but at least there is some hope.
