Finally, our first Fall storm arrives this week

Hard to believe after another weekend of 90 degree temperatures, but cloudier, cooler, and even wetter weather is just a couple of days away. And once this storm is done, we won't be warming back up that much - it looks like we're not only done with the 90's for the year, even the 80's may be a stretch after Monday. Fall is finally here.

California temperatures cool as rainstorm forecast to shower the state

As temperatures cool across California, a rainstorm is expected to shower areas of the state starting late Oct. 20. The National Weather Service has forecast rain across Southern and Central California, as well as the Sierra Nevada, as the storm is expected to bring snow, rain, and dangerous surf. The early weeks of the fall season have seen high temperatures as heatwaves have blanketed the state. A tropical storm brought light showers and slightly cooler temperatures last week, but the coming rainstorm would be the first of the season to bring substantial rain to large parts of the state. Which parts of California will the storm affect? How much rain is California expected to get? Snow, rain, and thunderstorms are in the forecast for parts of California, with the strongest impacts south of the Central Valley. Sierra Nevadas While much of Northern California is expected to stay dry from the incoming rainstorm, areas around the Sierra Nevadas could see light showers and a chance of thunderstorms as early as Oct. 20., the weather agency says. Elevations above 8,000 feet could see 3 to 6 inches of snow, with heavier amounts at higher elevations. Central Valley Areas south and east of

October Storm Brings Heavy Rain and Dangerous Surf Risk to Southern California

LOS ANGELES - Rain could begin Tuesday night, while thunderstorms and localized flooding become more likely Wednesday night through Thursday. Most areas could receive about an inch of rain over the two-day period. Some locations may see 1 to 2 inches, and stronger showers or thunderstorms could produce higher totals in isolated areas. "A pretty potent storm for October appears to be headed towards southern California Wednesday and Thursday," the National Weather Service said. The low-pressure system was off the Oregon coast Monday and is expected to move south along the California coast before turning inland somewhere between Central and Southern California on Thursday. Its timing and expected rainfall totals remain uncertain because the system is partly separated from the stronger jet stream to the north. "In addition, assuming the storm drops as far south as many of the (computer models) are now indicating, there is an increasing risk for scattered convective activity and locally heavy rainfall, especially Wednesday night into Thursday, which means likely a large variance in rainfall rates and totals," according to the NWS. The weather service said rain could fall at rates up to three-quarters of an inch per hour, and a flood watch may be
