North and Central California 5-Day Precipitation Forecast
Lots of hype for this last storm in NorCal, and all we got was a night of nice steady rain. All of our creeks are normal right now. Twitter weather forecasters are out of control - this is about the fifth straight storm they’ve hyped that has failed to live up to expectations in the Sac Valley.
I agree. California always looking for an emergency.
Better to be a day too early than 10 minutes too late. We’ve made a career and a good living dealing with emergencies.
And just because the deluge skipped my location doesn’t mean someone else isn’t going to get hammered by the predicted weather system.

Climbing up to 70+ mph by 2PM for San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties, and the transverse mountain ranges. Lots of calls for trees, powerlines and wind damage. A few warming fires. Good chance there will be power and telecom outages. Not great considering the amount of rain coming this way.
I wouldn’t count on rotor support in some of these areas for a little while.
NWS 5-Day Precipitation Forecast
Looks like the points of maximum rainfall accumulations have shifted around a bit on the Santa Cruz, upper Los Padres, Angeles and Bernadino ranges. North Bay Area flooding is ongoing.
The 8-14 day hazards outlook covering Presidents’ Day weekend is looking fairly similar to last weekend. GEFS also is showing a fairly strong pattern.
Should be interesting to see what develops.
