What Will Dolores Do?

It's like the Perils of Pauline to figure out what Hurricane Dolores will do. At first, it was forecast to come into the Malibu coast. Then, because a ridge was building from the southern U.S. into central Mexico, it looked like Dolores would dodge west so far it couldn't possibly affect California weather. Now, because the ridge is weaker than anticipated, the models suggest a nearly-ideal situation, where from Sunday through Tuesday, winds would strip the weakening offshore hurricane of moisture, generating rain in southern California all the way from the border to Bakersfield, before the remaining cinder of a storm arrived in Malibu Wednesday morning. Hopefully something like this actually happens.
