Thought we were just going to have a humid day, but the moment I opened the laptop on the back of the trike while doing some troubleshooting, and got down on the ground to plug in the usb-serial cable from it to the Phaserunner, the sprinkles started with big fat drops. As soon as I managed to haul myself back up with the cane and close the laptop lid, less than 30 seconds later, the rain stopped and hasn't restarted since.

Only 0.03” this evening, 20% chance tonight and tomorrow. Barring an odd thunderstorm looks like we got a dud. Still better than nothing.

0.02” overnight brings the total to 0.05” for this storm here with many mostly mountain locations getting more as the system moves to the east. The center of the low remains near the Channel Islands giving a slight chance to add a little more later this morning.

Edit:
Baja California, AZ, Old and New Mexico still getting some moisture out of it as the cut off low finally moves ashore and dissipates while the system moves east into TX.

Guess who I believe? Looks like the rain is still coming at least a day away. Trust the official forecast folks; the NWS usually gets it right. Just the usual late night and early morning low clouds and fog.

Drizzle/light rain all day here. About 1/4" so far. Up in the Sierras it's supposed to be a major blizzard with 10 FEET of snow in some places. Interstate 80 is going to be a mess for a while.

Just 0.06” of rain fell this morning. So far this storm is a dud. On the news they’re showing clips of the last big storm because they have nothing else. The same huge waves that happened weeks ago and a landslide over a week old.
Just had a very brief shower of a minute or so followed by the sun coming out.

Over 1.5" here since Wednesday. Still getting brief showers here and there. The wind made a mess in the yard again, so something to do once it stops raining.

0.10” additional this evening making the storm total 0.16” so far. Still a 50% chance so could be some more.

Only 0.01” overnight giving us a 0.17” storm total here from the “storm of the year”. No atmospheric river for this area.

The satellite view of the next low approaching the coast shows the sub-tropical jet stream staying to the south so we’re not expecting too much from the next storm.

Unstable air moves ashore so there’s some hope:

Got 0.11” today in the gage. We need a thunderstorm to liven things up. Storm total here now 0.33” as of 5:00 pm.
Some dark clouds to the west might add to the total.
