The rain will not be going away anytime soon in South County, as a series of storms are forecast for the area through Friday, according to National Weather Service forecaster Logan Johnson.
Following up last week’s stormy weather—which brought between 3 to 3.5 inches to the area—today’s heavy rains have dropped an inch already (as of 3 p.m.) and are expected to add another inch before lightening up a bit.
“We’ll have scattered showers the rest of the evening and then we’ll get a little bit of a break,” Johnson said. “The break is not going to be all that long, so things won’t get a chance to dry out.”
Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 50s and down to the mid 40s throughout the wet week, according to Johnson.
“There are a series of storms lined up across the Pacific (Ocean) set to come this way,” said Johnson, noting they are moving at a fairly good pace as well.
After a reprieve later tonight and early Tuesday, the next storm will touch down late afternoon Tuesday and last into the night. The rains will soften up Wednesday. Thursday “is the best shot at a dry day,” Johnson said. “Friday another (storm system) is coming our way.”
The City of Morgan Hill and the Santa Clara Valley Water District continue to supply sandbag stations at three locations in the city limits: the City Corp Yard, 100 Edes Court; El Toro Fire Station, 18300 Old Monterey Road; and Depot Street near Fourth Street, in the parking lot adjacent to the railroad tracks in downtown Morgan Hill.
