A lightening store started to move ashore starting at 5:30 AM and we are now having heavy rain. We only had a 1/2 inch in the past 24 hours but we will exceed that in a couple of hours now. But that's normal for Humboldt bay. We are short nearly 6 inches of rain since July 1...

Dang forecasts! Trying to stay on top of them is a task in itself. Doesn’t look to be gullywashers anywhere that I can tell.. fingers crossed.

We’re headed into the Sierra Wednesday morning, hope to be in our room that afternoon, looks like some chains will be in order..

Be safe down there!

I finally dumped the rain guage yesterday, had a little over an inch in it from the last 10 days of moisture rolling thru here.

6 inches short for the year.. wow, for there, that’s quite a drop.

Before I came here, I was reading the forecaster discussion. In the 356am, he says, “Gusty winds have already developed in the mountains and the Antelope Valley...and with models showing 60 knot winds at 700 mb this afternoon.” I don’t know where in the AV he’s talking about, but there are no winds at all where I am. So it makes me curious about the whole game plan for us.

Damp and foggy this AM just south and east of LB Harbor....seemed a bit warmer last night...which is good.
