Despite all reports that there was only a “slight” chance of rain tonight, all the way down here, it began around 7 pm, and continues, steady, with some heavy times.

I never reported Monday’s rain, which was 1.5 inches, bringing the season total to 40.85 inches. Woohoo! We are on our way, and with the strengthening of El Niño in December, could be a very wet winter.

  • Just had a blast of rain around Carmel Valley, too...same timing. 6:30 to now, 7:40. The rain was quite heavy for the spell. Radar returns on NWS were yellow and orange, which meant heavy rain was a'comin'.
