A storm system moving into the Central and South Coasts could bring some heavy rain at times, but meteorologists say it won’t be powerful enough to cause issues in the region’s brush fire burn zones. We could see some light rain late Tuesday night, but the heaviest rainfall is predicted for between 4 a.m. and 2 p.m. Wednesday.
With a weak atmospheric river offshore, forecasters say some of the strongest rain could be on the Gaviota coastline just south of Point Conception.
Rainfall amounts are expected to be from three quarters of an inch to an inch and a half along the coast, and inland. The foothills and mountains could see one to three inches. At this time, no flash flood watches have been issued for the burn areas.
The rain may be lighter than expected in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. The system is expected to clear out Wednesday night.
