We're in this holding pattern and it's not lifting.

Since it's just cresting over the flood stage, it's minor flooding that we're forecasting. You probably don't need a canoe, but it's probably wise to move vehicles out of the area.

We may have another record-breaking month, but we won't know that until, obviously, the end of the month.

Keep your fingers crossed. Wednesday looks like a break.

Over this past month, the pattern has essentially gotten stuck. At this point we're not seeing a breakdown in that pattern.

That's because the cold front is stalling at the moment and moving very, very slowly. It means the rain is falling over the same area for a longer period of time, which increases the likelihood of flooding because the soil can only soak up so much at a time.

We're not really sure why this pattern is holding up for so long. We're not sure if the pattern is going to break. We're kind of trying to understand it ourselves.

We will cross our fingers. That may mean a transition is on its way.

Various locations around the globe are experiencing the same weather patterns. Australia is experiencing the same thing. We don't know what needs to change.

We just keep getting cold front after front coming through. Our weather pattern is kind of stuck at the moment. Typically, we're not stuck in a pattern like this for more than 12 to 14 days. We've been having it for more than a month now.

We do see spring in our future. There will be a block of dry weather early next week that could transition us into more typical spring weather than the persistent rain we've been experiencing for so long.

We could see gusts of up to 60 mph, especially in the hills.

The storm on New Year's Day will be fairly quick moving. When that happens there is not as much accumulation of rain.

So, more clouds and more rain sometime toward the end of (this) week.

Rain like we have just seen is the kind of thing you expect to see once every 10 years.

It's a weak system, so even if it arrives, there won't be a lot of rain.

It is unusual for the rainy season to extend into daylight savings time. Typically our rainy season coordinates pretty well with Pacific Standard Time.

It looks like kids will have to have their egg hunts indoors on Sunday.

It looks like we'll probably be breaking that record, or at least tying it. It's definitely been a wet March, but the 1983 March.

It's generally approximately a 48-hour cycle, where about every couple of days another frontal system is coming through.

The next storm will not be as ominous.

It's definitely rare for this time of year.

Be cautious when you're out there in terms of flooding, and make sure you're prepared at home for power outages.

The main concern is mudslides. If any of these systems come through with any significant amount of rain, that would put houses at risk and close roads.

The main concern however is that the ground is pretty much saturated. So any additional rains will be precarious for potential mudslides.
