Weather Update

Glimpse at the first round of rain this week.

The rain has let up for now. But don't let that fool ya. There is more on the way.

So far (as of 3:35 p.m.) total rain 0.33 inches.

Right now it looks like it is going to start again.

The rivers are doing fine. At the rate of rain fall the ground will absorb this first storm.

But remember the more rain we get the more saturated the ground gets and then then problems could start, especially for the Santa Cruz Mountains and all mountain areas.

The hills are dry for now.

But as each storm passes by the hills will get wetter and then the possibility of mud slide and trees down and road closers.

Be aware during windy times of down trees and power lines.

Please if you see a down power line do not run over it  or try to remove it. It could be deadly.

And if a tree is down in front of you on the road way don't get out. There may be wires tangled in the trees.

And remember, please, if the weather gets real bad keep you and your pets safe.
