Big rain in store for California this weekend

Posted January 2nd, 2008 by Weather Toolbar

The models and the prognosticators have been and are still predicting a significant rain event for California starting Thursday. Here at SLOweather, it's supposed to start Thursday evening. The local nuclear power plant meteorologist says that, between the first 3 storms Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, we could see 4+ inches of rain, with another potential storm next Tuesday. Considering that in our entire last rainy season we only saw a little over 9 inches, this really could be "significant".

It's unusual that the models and forecasters seem to have been in agreement for so many days. We'll see if it falls apart tomorrow.
