Well, what can I say? We had a forecast bust Wednesday. Front No. 1 moved inland Tuesday evening — to our south. Front No. 2 went south as well for the most part, with just a glancing blow Wednesday night. Front No. 3 appeared it would take a more northern route and finally give us some rainfall today.
Not what we were anticipating, but hey, no complaints. If we forecasted sunny weather and it rained, well …
Some rainfall went into southern Oregon and northern California, which is sorely needed given the extensive wildfires down there. Further south, Los Angeles received heavy rain not from the northern weather systems but from the south. On Tuesday, 2.39 inches was recorded in downtown Los Angeles. That was enough to achieve the second rainiest September day on record. San Diego set a new record, too, with 1.15 inches.
I’m sure some of this rainfall poured into their reservoirs but there were also reports of flash floods. Too much rain in such a short time. Boy, what we would give for a couple inches of rain!
