Update on Weather
The Atascadero Fall Festival and Colony Days are both Rain or Shine Events!
Update from Chief Meteorologist Mackenzie Lake from NewsChannel 3-12
This is subject to change; however- latest data shows moderate to heavy rain for Atascadero after lunch Thursday and portions of Friday evening. The weekend appears to be more scattered showers but I believe biggest impacts to occur Thursday close to midday.
The data I have currently shows just over 1 inch of rain over 2-4 hours and an additional inch or so over the weekend. Winds will be strongest through midday Thursday as well.
All things considered, Santa Barabara and Ventura will have much larger rainfall amounts. I think low lying areas such as parking lots, creeks etc. may experience localized flooding. Lightning and pop-up thunderstorms will be a problem and tough to forecast Friday.
The weekend will probably change dramatically as well but remnant scattered showers likely for the second half of each day.
