More thunder and lightning headed to SLO County. Here’s how much rain has fallen so far

Is it just us, or did “June gloom” get a little gloomier?

San Luis Obispo County residents can expect more thunderstorms and rain throughout Tuesday evening, according to the National Weather Service.

It’s hard to tell exactly where the lightning and thunderclaps will happen, the Weather Service said in its forecast.

However, coastal areas are predicted to see the bulk of the rainfall Tuesday night, according to the latest outlook.

The rainfall is expected to be minimal at under an inch, the Weather Service predicts.

“Any thunderstorm can produce dangerous lightning, winds up to 50 mph (and) hail,” the Weather Service wrote in a tweet on Tuesday. “Stay weather aware.”

The storm that kept some residents awake with loud thunderclaps and bright flashes of lightning Monday night produced 0.68 inches of rain near the Lopez Lake area, according to the San Luis Obispo County Public Works Department.

Most other areas of the county received from 0.02 inches to nearly 0.5 inches of rain, the department’s rain gauges show, including 0.52 inches in Arroyo Grande, 0.38 in Oceano and 0.32 in Nipomo.

San Luis Obispo received 0.2 inches, while areas farther north saw dwindling amounts including 0.18 in Santa Margarita and 0.03 in San Simeon.

It’s very unusual for San Luis Obispo County to receive much measurable rainfall during June. Typically, the rainiest months along the Central Coast are December through March.

The San Luis Obispo area, on average, receives about 0.1 inches of rain during the month of June, according to the Weather Service.

The last time the region saw a substantially rainy June was in 2011, when the Weather Service recorded 1.34 inches fell throughout the month.
