Cool down and *RAIN* on the horizon

The weather service is now saying to expect the first serious chance of rain by mid-week next week.

A quick check with NWS forecast for Modesto shows nadda except a few clouds mid week.

• NWS forecast Modesto

But they said the computer models could swing again, and it should at least shower in the Valley . . .

" . . . Stronger low pressure system dropping out of the Gulf of
Alaska will bring more cooling on Monday and increased cloudiness.
This system is forecast to dig into norcal Monday night and latest
model runs indicating enough moisture with this system to bring
shower threat to nearly all of County Warning Area on Tuesday and Wednesday. Have
therefore bumped up probability of precipitation for Tuesday through Wednesday time frame.
Upper low pressure system becomes cut off from main flow late
Wednesday so after that...timing and movement of low become more
difficult to forecast. Currently have small precipitation threat in place
over much of County Warning Area through late Thursday. Current GFS run shifts upper
low east of County Warning Area by Friday of next week but this timing likely to
change as models get better handle on cut off low. "

It started sprinkling around 1PM here and currently steady light rain. This is the earliest fall rain I remember.

Hopefully you look down this far again. I did email you after I got your email. I was surprised and disappointed when you never called.

Only after getting back from picking up my wifes new buy, a used tent trailer, did I realize my email to you never went through. First got a temporary stall notice, and a day later, a notice, not deliverable.

Was or is your inbox too full to receive mail?

Was looking foreword to meeting you.
