Be cautious when you're out there in terms of flooding, and make sure you're prepared at home for power outages. |
How much rain? We aren't sure. |
It is unusual for the rainy season to extend into daylight savings time. Typically our rainy season coordinates pretty well with Pacific Standard Time. |
It looks like kids will have to have their egg hunts indoors on Sunday. |
It looks like we'll probably be breaking that record, or at least tying it. It's definitely been a wet March, but the 1983 March. |
It's a weak system, so even if it arrives, there won't be a lot of rain. |
It's definitely rare for this time of year. |
It's generally approximately a 48-hour cycle, where about every couple of days another frontal system is coming through. |
Keep your fingers crossed. Wednesday looks like a break. |
Over this past month, the pattern has essentially gotten stuck. At this point we're not seeing a breakdown in that pattern. |
Rain like we have just seen is the kind of thing you expect to see once every 10 years. |
Since it's just cresting over the flood stage, it's minor flooding that we're forecasting. You probably don't need a canoe, but it's probably wise to move vehicles out of the area. |
So, more clouds and more rain sometime toward the end of (this) week. |
That's because the cold front is stalling at the moment and moving very, very slowly. It means the rain is falling over the same area for a longer period of time, which increases the likelihood of flooding because the soil can only soak up so much at a time. |
The main concern however is that the ground is pretty much saturated. So any additional rains will be precarious for potential mudslides. |
