Jan. 25 A major storm is predicted to hit San Luis Obispo County this week bringing badly-needed rain, but also gusting winds, flooding and power outages.
The weather system is expected to hit the Central Coast on Wednesday and Thursday, when southerly wind gusts could reach 70 mph and 5 to 7 inches of rain could fall throughout San Luis Obispo County, said John Lindsey, PG&E meteorologist, in his Monday forecast.
Lindsey on Monday told The Tribune multiple weather models continue to consistently predict a sizable midweek storm. He tweeted on Monday the models are “still lit up like a Christmas tree,” with big splotches of purple, red and yellow indicating the expected amounts of precipitation.
