It's a cutoff low, so the computer models are having indigestion. Rainfall estimates vary wildly from one day to the next. They're guessing around 0.7" here through Sunday.

Nice today. I went for a ride and spotted a large jack rabbit. I'm surprised they can survive with all the coyotes around.
I've seen quite a few very large turkeys in the hills too. Funny how they all disappear around Thanksgiving.

Short but really heavy blast hit yesterday evening. Even some thunder and lightning.
Storm total: 2.4" (since Friday).
That's a lot for this time of year. The grass in the hills will stay green a couple weeks longer.
 
Received an additional 0.06” this morning for a storm total of 0.13” so far.
Edit:
Another 0.11” this evening for a final storm total of 0.24”.
Pretty good here for this late in the season.
