will pileup. it will be two different atmospheric river events. the first peaks on saturday and the next, moves in on sunday. you see a longer tail on this one. it will extend into monday and tuesday of next week. you add up all of the rain over the seven-days, rain shadows spots likely to pick up 2-7, 3-5 on a widespread basis. it will not all fall at once but that is enough rain over the course of seven-days we will be concerned especially sunday night into monday as the rainfalls on saturated ground that is flooding urban and small stream flooding and flash flooding and river flooding becoming more and more possible with santa cruz mountains picking up several inches of rain. a lot to be determined by how exactly this whole scenario will evolve including the potential for wind damage. something else we have to evaluate. does not look like a repeat of the widespread damaging winds that we had 10 days ago. sunday into sunday
