Storm System Headed For Central, South Coasts; No Issues Anticipated For Brush Fire Burn Zones

A storm system is expected to bring rain to the Central and South Coasts during the first part of the weekend, but not in amounts strong enough to cause issues for brush fire burn zones. A low will slip down west of the Channel Islands Friday.  It will mean rain Friday night into Saturday morning for the Central Coast. We’ll see rain from Point Conception south into Ventura County Friday night into midday Saturday. 

Rainfall amounts are predicted to be light, with a quarter of an inch of rain for the coast and inland. The valleys and mountains could get up to a half inch of rain, well below thresholds for issues in brush fire burn zones.

The system is expected to clear the region by Saturday night.
