Once again, rain returns to SLO County. Here’s what to expect from next storm

More rain is on the way to San Luis Obispo County this week.

According to the National Weather Service, a storm will hit the region Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing with it mostly light rain.

Parts of the county could get about 1.3 inches of rain during the event, according to the NWS, though most of the area is expected to see less than 1 inch.

Unlike previous storms this year, Tuesday’s is not expected to cause significant flooding or damage, with only a low threat of road and creek flooding in some parts of SLO County, the NWS said.

Meanwhile the San Luis Obispo County Office of Emergency Services says it does not anticipate having to issue evacuation orders for residents along the Arroyo Grande Creek levee because of the weaker storm. Residents in those flood-prone areas, however, should remain alert if the situation changes.

The weather is expected to clear up starting late Thursday, with sunny skies but cold temperatures lasting through the end of the week, according to the NWS.
