Howdy Jeff and WeatherCat western drought watchers,
The remnants of Hurricane Simon brought .99" of much needed rain yesterday and last night . 70 % chance of rain today but it looks like the storm is moving east. Rain was a ground soaking light drizzle most of the time. So far 2.20" of rain from 3 hurricane remnants this fall. Otherwise it would of been a extremely dry fall. Here is hoping for another Baja California tropical storm
Good for you!
We got plenty of threats, but never got more than 0.01" out of the relatively active Eastern Pacific hurricane season this year. Honestly, I am ambivalent to moisture from hurricanes. We are close enough to the coast that if a hurricane managed to head straight up our way, we would get a very destructive amount of rainfall.
However, so far this rainy season is off to a more promising start. We got some rain in September and the current forecast is for some rain next week, perhaps even two storms. If we could get a steady series of moderate storms that would be the equivalent of your ground soaking drizzle.
Here's to wishing for a end of the western droughts! Cheers, Edouard
