Get ready, folks! 7-8″ possible

8:45 pm – home safe. Neighbor cut through large downed oak so I could get home. The wind is singing to me, beginning to sound like it might turn into a chorus, soon. Should be a fun night for those of us who are ready and hunkered down. I am.

MOVING ONTO RAINFALL ACCUMULATION…FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON…MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS WILL SEE BETWEEN AN INCH TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN…WITH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS RECEIVING BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES OF RAIN. HOWEVER…THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE FOR THE BIG SUR COAST AS WELL AS THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS. THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAIN ARE FORECAST TO RECEIVE BETWEEN 3 AND 4 INCHES OF RAIN…WITH THE BIG SUR COAST RECEIVING BETWEEN 4 AND 6 INCHES OF RAIN. IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT A FEW ISOLATED
AREAS ALONG THE BIG SUR COAST AND SANTA LUCIA MOUNTAINS MAY RECEIVE BETWEEN 7 AND 8 INCHES OF RAIN. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE BIG SUR COAST FROM LATE TONIGHT UNTIL FRIDAYNIGHT.

  • If the wind blows down all the standing dead trees from the fire kill, it's going to get really intense along the roads up here...nice time to be inside...

  • Just thought the same, Wally. And the trees the trees the trees the trees, keep a sharp eye out for those crashing rootless babies. Otherwise.....
    wahooo the wetlands! We sure are getting some sky drama.

  • Monica here...Treebones ...any word on the road conditions? I am not able to find any info....winds were Wild Last night! We have trees down

    • I haven't been able to check myself. Got a report from my neighbor of a big, big tree down completely blocking my road, and who knows how many below that. USFS at PV Station can't get to it because of the mud.

    • There is a big portion of the large oak on the flat down, and my phone is ringing strangely, so I wonder about phone lines further north. blew off a small roof of an outbuilding, and I am going to check and see what else.
      Water line is broken, I think. Put out buckets which will be full pretty soon...

  • Definitely watch out for the trees as we had one hit our house last week. Luckily the headache rack on Jim's truck was strong enough to break the fall & it was slow motion from there. We also had a huge Pine taken out yesterday that was dying, Probably 48" at the butt & 70ft. tall. If it had gone down it would have taken down power lines & maybe part of a neighbors house!! Stay Safe out there!!
