So far, rainfall amounts around the region have been about as expected, with locations picking up around a half to one inch. Localized amounts of 3-5" also fell on some of our lower coastal slopes overnight. Additional rainfall of around a quarter inch is possible today as widely scattered showers and thunderstorms continue. Expect cool and windy conditions out there today with highs in the upper 40s to around 50 degrees. West to southwest winds will also continue at 10-20 mph, with gusts near 30 mph possible. Showers will taper off tonight with clearing skies and lighter winds as lows cool to the lower 30s. Mostly sunny skies will return tomorrow with winds turning northeasterly 5-15 mph as highs reach the upper 40s to lower 50s. A mild Santa Ana will develop through the weekend with gusty offshore winds to 35 mph possible below passes and canyons with below-normal temperatures. Weak ridging aloft will return next week for fair and warmer weather as temperatures return to normal with dry conditions. Longer range is advertising more unsettled weather towards next weekend that could lead to more precipitation across the area, but it's still too far out for any details.
