A low pressure system currently developing over the eastern Pacific will approach the area on Tuesday. As this system moves towards the area tonight and Tuesday it is expected to entrain moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Blanca bringing the possibility of precipitation to the area.

At this time confidence in the exact amount of rainfall expected is low. Initial estimates are for most areas to receive between 0.10 and 0.50 inches of rainfall. Ventura and Los Angeles counties will likely receive the highest totals.
