Update--Tuesday's showers were just a small taste of what will be a "weather smorgasbord" cooked up by "Mother Nature" for Ventura County through Friday.
On and off scattered showers will continue but the main dish will be from Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
During that time we can expect rain, heavy at times, with a chance of thunderstorms.
It will also be very windy plus snow covering the county's northern mountains.
Total rainfall amounts from Tuesday through Friday will range from 1-2 inches along the coast and in the valleys with 2-4 inches on the foothills.
There will be snow in the northern mountains of Ventura County that will start out above 6500 feet and lower to 3000 by early Thursday.
Snowfall amounts will range from a couple of inches at the lower elevations to a foot at the higher elevations.
While the rain will create some street flooding, minor mud and rock slides, and some small debris flows in the wildfire burn scars, the wind will be toppling trees, shaking power lines, and generally tossing everything around that isn't nailed down.
A Flood Watch will be in effect for Ventura County from Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon.
And there will be a Winter Storm Warning for the northern mountains of Ventura County from Wednesday afternoon through Saturday morning.
