central California coast...

A very wet and windy weather pattern is setting up next week
beginning late Sunday night and lasting into the latter part of
the week. A series of storms will set up over the Pacific and push
into California throughout the week.

The result of these storms will be strong winds with the potential
for heavy rainfall... along with large waves near the coast and
heavy snow accumulation for higher elevations.

Potential impacts from these storms include:

* Urban and Small Stream flooding along with possible flash
flooding.
* High winds that can down trees and power lines producing power outages.
* Hazardous driving conditions due to very slippery Road conditions.
* Dangerous near shore conditions due to high surf from large waves.
