A quarter of an inch!!

Yes Southern California may get a quarter of an inch of rain in the coming days

Unfortunately, that much rain may cause mudslides in and below the recent burn areas

A sudden reminder that we don't live in paradise but in a coastal strip on the edge of a desert.

If you live below any of the recent wild fires (down hill anywhere really) keep an eye on the weather and listen to the state and local agencies.

In more pleasant news,

Adam Wright's surf forecast blog Southern California Surf Forecast is one of the OC Weekly's

"Best of the OC".

Speaking of surf forecasts

The combination of local winds and storm run off doesn't usually produce epic conditions.

(Maybe some wind swell)

Run off from the first storms of the season are usually the worst.
