Rain In Forecast For Mid-Week: Meteorologists Don't Expect Serious Issues In Burn Areas

A storm system is headed for the Central and South Coasts, but meteorologists say rainfall amounts appear to be below thresholds to cause serious problems in the Thomas, Hill, and Woolsey brush fire burn areas.

Light rain could start on the Central Coast during the day Wednesday, with the rain moving onto the South Coast Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.

Rainfall totals are expected to range from a quarter to three quarters of an inch, with possibly just over an inch in some mountain areas. 

Meteorologists say so far, it looks like the system will not have concentrated rates of rain which could cause debris flow issues.
