RE: [californiadisasters] Red Flag Warnings - NorCal (5/03/13-AM)

Well at least there is some good news to report, a late season cutoff low should bring some much needed rain to all of southern California Sunday through Monday, the bad news, we have to wait a couple more days… But widespread showers and thunderstorms are possible by later Sunday into Monday before the storm departs Tuesday.
