We apologize. John is “under the weather” and is unable to focus on doing a full report. We will likely do a short version of the report tomorrow morning.

The latest AR is moving slowly southward through central California. This latest wave will move through later this evening. We may actually get all the rain in before the New Year arrives with a dry day to follow for New Year’s Day. Gazing out over the Pacific, however, we find it won’t be long before precipitation returns. Clouds will begin to increase again Sunday evening with another round of showers Monday and Monday night. Another lull in the action will take place Tuesday into Tuesday evening before the next system moves on shore, spreading more precipitation down the valley Wednesday and Wednesday night. Showers will continue into Thursday before the activity begins to wind down at least somewhat Thursday night and Friday. Upper level high pressure continues to be parked well to the southwest of Los Angeles. Storms will continue to move on shore roughly every day and a half to two days. Showers will decrease again Saturday of next week but, surprise! It looks like more rain will move in Sunday.

 

Forecast: Showers this evening. Becoming partly cloudy New Year’s Day and night. Rain likely Monday through Monday evening with only a slight chance of showers Tuesday.
