I like Meterologist John Lindsay, and have his weather reports sent directly to my inbox. I have missed him lately, although he let us know he was dealing with a family health emergency. His wife suffered a stroke and he shared that story with the SLO Tribune, to which I subscribe. I live so close to the county line and often do my shopping in that direction, and the Cambrian is an arm of the Trib, so it behooves me to subscribe.

Lindsay has a weather column in today’s issue of the Trib and I have copied a portion of it here.

“However, the break from dry weather will be brief as a cutoff low-pressure system is expected to move southward along the Central Coast and produce increasing southerly winds and periods of rain later Monday through Wednesday. 

Precipitation accumulation through Wednesday will range from 0.75 to 2.25 inches, with the elevated terrain along the coastline getting higher amounts. 

Temperatures are expected to warm behind this system, with thermometers climbing to above average and snow levels above 6,000 feet.

Mostly dry weather with a chance of a few scattered rain showers are expected on Thursday and Friday, with temperatures remaining seasonably warm. 

The long-range models suggest another weather system may move through the Central Coast next weekend, with the possibility of additional precipitation. 

Details on strength and timing remain extremely unclear; updates will be given as the forecast evolves. 

Overall, it appears that California is in a weak wet weather pattern for the next seven to 10 days with brief breaks in the wet weather expected.
