00:00Ken, as we talked about, the rain would first come in the central and northern California,
00:06it is now beginning to shift south, but what a stormy morning we had in San Francisco.
00:13Lots of wind, lots of heavy rain, and more rain is to come out there. They're not going to be
00:17done once the front moves through. Concerned about thunderstorms and additional showers
00:22as we go through the afternoon, hours into the early evening. There's even a slight risk of
00:28some severe weather in parts of central California, and that we could be even talking about a brief
00:33funnel cloud or tornado, because there is some turning of the atmosphere, of the wind,
00:38the atmosphere. So we're not done with the rain there, but southern California, that's the next
00:44really on track here for mid to late afternoon and evening hours, this heavy band of rain moving
00:49through with the cold front, three to five hour period of moderate to heavy rain, and we're
00:54looking at a high risk, a high risk of life-threatening debris flows and mudslides in and near
01:01the recent burn areas. There's that rain band now, Future Radar, about three o'clock through Ventura
01:07County, about ready to get in to Los Angeles County, and you know, Ken, we've been talking
01:12about a half that rain amounts in that area, about a half inch to an inch of rain per hour,
01:17certainly possible, and when you do the math, that rain band's about what, about two to three hours
01:24or so as it shifts southward? It should be two to three, three to four, something like that,
01:29and you know, we're looking at, you know, like I said, high degree risk of mudslides and debris
01:36flows because of that rain coming down so hard, and it's going to be the absolute miserable commute
01:41this evening across LA. It's bad usually. This is going to be a horrendous commute because of the
01:47rain coming down. And of course, Ken, really quickly, snow, yeah, it's going to snow hard
01:54really quickly here, and I want to end with this, Ken, you brought this to my attention as well.
02:00Surf. This is a huge storm that developed out in the Pacific and moving inland,
02:05lots of wind with it, and that means there's going to be lots of waves, 20-foot breakers,
02:09very, very likely along the central coast from north to the Bay Area on southward,
02:14and we're looking at maybe some breakers in the 30 to 45 feet.
