December rain could bring season totals to beat last year already
According to local meteorologists and the National Weather Service, a four-day storm will land in San Luis Obispo County around 11 a.m. today with three days of heavy rain and a slight chance of showers on Sunday, December 26. Some forecasts show chance of a “white Christmas” locally on our mountain ranges.
Local meteorologists predicted the heavy rain could bring up to six inches of rain. Expect challenges when traveling and when leaving the home for the holidays, ensure precautions are taken to mitigate flooding around your home.
