How much rain did SLO County get? Here are the totals
Rain swept through drought-thirsty San Luis Obispo County on Thursday and Friday, dumping 1 to 1.5 inches of precipitation on most areas and causing a few traffic mishaps.
Cayucos topped the county with 2.05 inches of rainfall, while Humbug Vineyards in Creston received the least precipitation with just .83 of an inch, PG&E meteorologist said John Lindsey.
Rain started falling late in the afternoon on Thursday in most areas in the county. The storm front came through about 3 a.m. Friday morning at Diablo Canyon with the sound of thunder and air temperatures that shot up to 75 degrees, Lindsey said.
The rain continued on Friday through the afternoon, bringing traffic delays on Los Osos Valley Road and Highway 101, where multiple semitruck crashes snarled the roadways.
Light rain is again in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, with sprinkles and scattered showers on Saturday expected to bring just a tenth of an inch of rain, he said. About two-tenths to half of an inch of rain is likely on Sunday, Lindsey said.
