The upcoming storm has caused counties around the California coast to issue weather warnings.
A Gale Warning has been issued until Wednesday, boaters should take extreme caution and expect northwest winds. High Wind and Flash Flood Warnings have been issued for San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties until Friday morning.
Wednesday
We will get our first taste of moisture starting Wednesday, we will see dry periods throughout this mini front but this is not the real storm, it is critical to take caution when the real band of rain arrives. Wednesday will be cold and breezy with scattered light showers. Highs on Wednesday drop into the 50s and winds will likely be up to advisory levels. Marine conditions remain hazardous for boaters, wet roads and blustery winds will be hazardous for your commute.
Thursday
On Thursday we'll see heavy downpours and dangerous traveling conditions. With rainfall rates exceeding an inch per hour, we will see moderate flooding on major highways and dangerous flooding on water-prone backroads. This will effect areas in San Luis Obispo county and beaches, Santa Lucia Mountains and inland Santa Barbara mountains. Wind speeds are expected to be 25-35mph with gusts up to 60 mph. Expect at least 2" of rainfall and closer to 3.5" up in portions of San Luis Obispo County.
Friday
Valentine's Day will be a cold and rainy day. We begin to dry out by Valentines day evening and stay dry through Sunday. Another mini system arrives Monday, but impacts will be minimal.
