You’ve been hearing about the Red Flag warning in San Diego county for today and tomorrow, with some strong Santa Ana winds.
But what about the days ahead, through the holidays.
Forecasters are saying they don’t expect any appreciable rain possibly till after New Year’s Day.
So will it be a dry Christmas? We know we won’t have a white Christmas, we don’t have those, except up in the mountains from time to time.
But given the dry weather and with the county not having had much rain in recent months, just a fraction of its official seasonal rainfall, we could use a wet Christmas or for at least a day or two before or after Christmas.
With winter officially beginning later this month, and our rainy season, for what it is, coming, as it usually does in Januaery and February, we will be getting at least some rain.
In fact, we all remember, only a little over a year ago when we got so much rain in late January, we had record rain, homes flooded and damaged, some cars floating like fishing boats along flood control channels and across a wide area of the city, with thousands of our fellow San Diegans still trying to recover from.
We don’t want a repeat of that but we certainly can hope that Mother Nature will bring us a gift this holiday season of at least enough rain to help reduce the chances of more red flag warnings.
