In a November where the other 29 days were bone dry, the 30th was surprisingly wet, with downtown Los Angeles (CQT) recording 0.56 inch of much needed rain. The storm brought the water year total (since July 1) for Los Angeles to 2.03 inches, which is a deceptive 0.15 inch above normal for the date.

Rainfall totals generally ranged from about 0.25 to 1.00 inch, with well over an inch recorded in some foothill and mountain locations. Here's a copy of a NWS Information Statement listing some rainfall totals for the storm.

Although today's (uninterpreted) NWS 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks call for below normal precipitation in Southern California, the 12z runs of the GFS and ECMWF suggest there might be an opportunity for some wet weather towards the end of the work week. We'll see!
