If it moved 50-100 miles further to the west, then we will see higher rain and snow totals. If the system moves to the east, we may get no rain where the current track shows the low hovering over the Central Coast. This means mild rainfall numbers but higher chance for thunderstorms.

La and Ventura counties have the highest chance for a thunderstorm
