We're looking a little drier now.

We're not really sure why this pattern is holding up for so long. We're not sure if the pattern is going to break. We're kind of trying to understand it ourselves.

That's because the cold front is stalling at the moment and moving very, very slowly. It means the rain is falling over the same area for a longer period of time, which increases the likelihood of flooding because the soil can only soak up so much at a time.

We could see gusts of up to 60 mph, especially in the hills.

How much rain? We aren't sure.

The storm on New Year's Day will be fairly quick moving. When that happens there is not as much accumulation of rain.
