The rest of the weekend into early next week will see heavier rainfall amounts of rain totaling between one inch and two inches. With more heavy rain possible Monday the three-day total could be between two and three inches of rain. The coast and particularly the mountains could see much heavier amounts of rainfall and the mountains will see snow inn the higher elevations. Be particularly watchful if you leave near a creek, stream, or river as the levels could rise rapidly with sustained moderate to heavy rainfall.
