East of the mountains, dust flew as winds of 40-50 mph fanned the wildfires. Very little rain fell.
High-wind warnings were issued along the coast as the barometer fell to 29.46 inches. This would have been a huge storm even in the winter.
Early-morning thunderstorms Saturday woke many with constant lightning and thunder. Most of the rainfall as of 5 p.m. Saturday had come in those thundershowers. Amounts varied greatly, but many neighborhoods received 0.25 to 0.5 of an inch.
Showers and unsettled conditions are forecast through Thursday, but Labor Day weekend may be nice. Let’s hope.
