DISCUSSION:

A storm system will impact the area Thursday through Sunday, with
peaks Thursday Night and Friday Night through Saturday. Confidence
is low on a lot of the details of this storm, especially for the
Friday Night through Saturday time period. The most likely outcome
is for 2 to 4 inches total being common over much of the area for
Thursday through Sunday, with 3 to 6 inches in the favored hills and
mountains. With the uncertainity on Saturday, there is a plus or
minus 1 to 2 inch range of outcomes. Peak rainfall rates between
0.25 and 0.50 inches per hour will be common, but there is a
potential for rates of 0.5 and 1.0 inches per hour. That potential
exists for the Santa Ynez Range and Santa Lucia Range for Thursday
Night, and almost anywhere on Friday Night through Saturday. There
is a 10 to 20 percent chance of thunderstorms as well.

Another storm is possible for Monday November 17 and Thursday
November 20. The most likely outcomes for both of those storms is
for light to moderate amounts and impacts.
