My arthritic toes are predicting rain, but from what the full view Pacific satellite looks like, I'm thinking 3/4"-1" for the whole event in the SGV.
Not gonna be that big a storm.
If I lived in Glendora under the burn area, I'd be getting ready for 4".
Just in case.

7300' in the Sandias above Albuquerque. There would normally be a few feet here.
A lot of wells up there are drying up, too.

Much like having winter cold is not an indication that global warming is a lie, 1 rainstorm does not a drought end. But at least some is heading over soon.

It's coming down pretty good here in north OC. 6-8" total (of rain) expected from the systems we've had and will have over a few days...

Still pouring in Riverside. I'm headed to see Banff FF in Redlands after work...looks like a big end-around to Beaumont to hit the 10, not willing to risk San Timeteo being flooded out in sections.
Supposed to rain hard through tomorrow here. Our work location floods in places, should be pretty interesting this afternoon, we had some rescues in the last couple of significat rainfall events when numpties tried to drive through 3' deep flooded roadways.

This is a cool NOAA page that lets you look at precip totals across all of California's watersheds. Some big totals out there, 5"+ not uncommon with more on the way.

You can tweak with the data ranges, etc on the right side.

A little over 3 inches here in Wawona. We need a bunch more storms like this one to reach anything like normal. Praying for a wet March.

From midnight until about ten this morning, the goat dish rain gauge was showing about 3/8".
Then the wind came up and blew the dish away.
About a half-hour ago, it started really raining, so I tracked down the goat dish, and returned it to its working position.
Since 11:33 AM ( Yosemite Valley time ), it's about at 1/2". Not bad for twenty-five minutes.
It's tapered off now, but we got rain.

I'd like to get out my BMG to take out those phukking choppers hovering
over my house videoing the mudslide a few blocks away. Oooh, somebody got
some mud in their driveway so we're gonna burn hundreds of gallons of Jet A
so the retards can get excited! BFD!
And what I'm really pissed about is the storm is mainly north and south of us.

John, that was funny. My brother-in-law lives in Barrie. But at least he
knew that it snowed in Canada before he moved there (from Africa!) and has
made an attempt to learn to drive in the snow, something which many other
Canadians apparently have put off doing.
On a more serious note he caught heat from his employer, a certain large Canadian airline,
recently because he canceled a flight to Halifax because of forecast
"Extreme Icing and Wind Shear". Hmmm, one might think that would be
grounds for staying home when analyzed by a pilot with 20,000 hours,
wouldn't one?

We wished for some rain and now there is a class 5 hurricane shaped
storm bearing down on my house! Lesson learned.

Funny how some complain when there's not enough rain and some whine when we get torrential rain and the 'dangers' of it.
It's california. Always been this way.

I was smiling robustly this morning- the first time I've seen hard rain falling in wide swaths across the sky in front of my house I bought last spring. We lost power for a few hours. The view out my windows is like from a belay perch, looking down on the trees and hills around, feels like I'm in the middle of the storm but fully isolated from it with the comforts of modern construction. Wonderful!

That low is wound up tighter than Dr. F after the 2010 midterms.
