The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts another 0.25 to 0.5 inches across the Tri-Valley from Tuesday at 4 a.m. to Wednesday at 4 a.m. , and 0.5 inches to 1 inch from Wednesday to Thursday. That day, Santa Cruz is expected to see up to 2 inches, while the coastal area around Big Sur could see up to 3 inches. The rain is expected to taper off considerably Thursday to Friday, with a maximum of .1 inches expected in the Tri-Valley.
