This is part of what NOAA says we can expect:
Long story short, we`ll continue to be under a wet pattern for at least the next 7-10 days. As the rain accumulates and soils saturate this week and into the weekend, will have to monitor for an increasing risk of mudslides and debris flows. Also will need to monitor for rising small streams and creeks.

Only 2” in past 24 hours to report from our little south-facing cañon. You ridges got a lot of rain!
2.9" at Big Sur Station
Thanks, Tim.

Wow, Kate, 5" is a ton of rain for one storm. Let's hope Route 1 doesn't suffer anything more serious. Soil looks saturated on that slope you photographed.
Gail, that was just for Sunday, on top of the 2 1/2-3” we got on Saturday. Definitely saturated.

Kate, so actually you had upwards of 8" for the weekend -- phew. Now I see there is a high surf ( 18-24 feet in places) and gale warning out. Stay safe and I hope the Mud Creek beach fortifications hold up!

Yes, it was knarly. When I went to town on Thursday there were lots of lots of semis hauling flatbeds with large boulders on them, usually one to a trailer. All for the Mud Creek seawall.

It's good they are fortifying it further. Fingers crossed it will be enough this next week with the continued wet weather. Stay safe.
Got 5 inches in lower PCCanyon too... ground is saturated and spongy... Mini slides on PC road.
