Rain on the Central Coast?

For a few hours anyway. It sort of sneaked up as none of my weather apps foretold it yesterday, but it's very welcome.

POSSIBLE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY



A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON TUESDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES TOWARDS THE AREA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...IT IS EXPECTED TO ENTRAIN MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BLANCA...BRINGING THE THREAT OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA.

AS MOISTURE FROM TROPICAL STORM BLANCA STREAMS INTO THE AREA...THE THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY...WITH THE SHOWER THREAT PEAKING IN THE AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AS ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY INCREASES. THE THREAT OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING...BEFORE ENDING TUESDAY NIGHT.

ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS AND DANGEROUS CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING. MINOR STREET FLOODING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY HEAVY RAIN.

AT THIS TIME...CONFIDENCE IN THE EXACT AMOUNT OF RAINFALL EXPECTED IS LOW.

3. Nice, wasn't it! I spent a lot of time sitting and staring out my office window

(Which is what I usually do, but this time I was looking at rain... )

4. Blue sky peaking through over the ocean.

I guess it's gone for now.

5. Nope. It's been sprinkling on and off in Seal Beach (Orange County).

It's 80 degrees at 8 pm, yet the sky is completely covered in clouds. Feels like Florida!
