Possible Rain, Weatherpeople Wet Themselves

by The Editors on September 20, 2007

Satrad Reg 640X480Two nights ago on the evening news (we were only watching to catch up on this) we watched the KNSD weather bunny get all jittery over a “big, coming winter storm,” that was supposed to drown Carlsbad in .5 inches of rain on Thursday.

Today, under perfectly blue skies, we were reminded once again of the old axiom: San Diego TV Weather professionals are ALWAYS wrong (News 8’s Shawn Styles is so bad he doesn’t even count). Here’s what the San Diego Union Tribune has to say about our .02 inches of rain this morning and the “big storm” that is reportedly rolling in tomorrow afternoon.

The Weather Service says the best chance for significant rainfall in the county will be Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. Rainfall totals are expected to range from about 2 inches in the San Bernardino Mountains to less than a quarter inch in southern San Diego County. The snow level is expected to drop to about 6,000 feet Friday night.

We should be taking bets. . . but we’ll wait and see. Hopefully, all this weather won’t get in the way of this weekend’s Art Splash or A Taste of Carlsbad. Because that’s pretty much all we have planned.
