We are looking at the potential for more rainfall, albeit light, Wednesday through Friday. Odds are tilted slightly more in favor of above normal precipitation for this time of year, especially across the Central Coast. The most widespread rainfall is expected Wed/Thu with amounts between one-quarter and one-half of an inch. There exists some variability in model guidance with regard to key weather features and so exact rain amounts and locations will be refined over the next few days.
