Title: Wet Weather Due Here Today
Post by: Bob_Roller on September 30, 2018, 01:12:16 PM

Hurricane Rosa is moving up the west coast of Mexico and is forecast to start pushing a lot of tropical moisture into the southwestern US this evening .
It should be a tropical depression by the time the remnants cover this area, a lot of rain, but wind is not forecast to be an issue .
Southern California and most of the state of Arizona is in for a good drenching the next 3-4 days .
Forecast varies, 4-6 inches ( 10-15 cm ) of rain locally for me, that's about our average annual rainfall .
Looks like I'll be taking the car to work Tuesday and Wednesday, first time this year .
The last hurricane remnants we had here, was September, 2014, I got 7 inches  (18 cm ) of rain in 9 hours .

The greater danger to you folks, with all the fires this season, is mudslides from the bare earth.  We all wish you good luck.

Send some rain over here we are in for one of the worst years for farmers for 40 years.

OK, I wasn't reading closely enough and was thinking more to the west of you.  Still, good luck.
