–Rain is once again in the forecast for Atascadero and the North County. Weather Underground is forecasting a 100-percent chance of rain for Atascadero on Thursday. Up to .95 of an inch is expected. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-60s today and Tuesday, but then temperatures are expected to lower to the mid 50s later in the week.

The California Highway Patrol reminds citizens that wet roads can cause dangerous driving conditions. Hydroplaning can occur in as little as 1/16 of an inch of water, according to Public Informations Officer Patrick Seebart. Seebart reminds citizens to give themselves extra time to get to their destination so they are not driving in a hurry on the wet roads, and leave extra distance between their vehicle and the vehicles around them.

Wet weather driving tips:

  • Apply brakes more gently to avoid skidding.
  • Do not use cruise control on wet roadways
  • Slow down
  • Avoid distractions.
