NOAA’s Global Forecast System (#GFS) 0600Z model run is advertising between 2 and 4 inches of rainfall with heavier amounts in the Santa Lucia Mountains, while the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (#ECMWF) is predicting between 3 to 6 inches. Due to the subtropical nature of this system, snow levels will be above 8,000 feet and could cause flooding due to snow melt in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Please stay tuned for watches and warnings from the National Weather Service’s offices at weather.gov/lox/ and weather.gov/hnx/. It’s a good idea for residents in flood-prone areas to have emergency plans in place and be prepared to evacuate if necessary. Learning from past experiences and using that knowledge to inform present and future decisions are always valuable.
