2 Years ago had much suck. It rained in SoCal in May. It didn't rain a little, it was a monsoon. I didn't see a single car go by and I shivered in the cold for hours.

This doesn't bode well for the road conditions on the rally stages:
...MORE RAIN ON TAP FOR SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY...
AN UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST
WILL DROP SOUTHEASTWARD AND BE CENTERED NEAR SAN FRANCISCO BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...AN INFLUX OF MOIST SUBTROPICAL AIR IS EXPECTED
TO BE STEERED INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY. AS A RESULT...THERE IS AN INCREASING LIKELIHOOD OF
WIDESPREAD RAIN ACROSS THE REGION. RAIN IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
WIDESPREAD ACROSS SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SPREADING INTO VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES
ON THURSDAY. BEHIND THE INITIAL COLD FRONT...SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO
LINGER THROUGH FRIDAY.
PRELIMINARY RAINFALL ESTIMATES FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
ARE EXPECTED TO GENERALLY RANGE BETWEEN ONE HALF AND ONE INCH ACROSS
THE REGION. HOWEVER...THIS SYSTEM IS INITIALLY TAPPING INTO A VERY
MOIST SUBTROPICAL AIR MASS...WHICH WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR EVEN
HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS. THERE WILL EVEN BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WHICH COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL.
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING A THREAT OF RAIN TO THE REGION
LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THESE TWO SYSTEMS WILL CERTAINLY BRING THE
POSSIBILITY OF DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES BREAKING THE SEASONAL RAINFALL
RECORD. AS OF TUESDAY MAY 3RD...DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES HAS ACCUMULATED
37.06 INCHES WHICH IS 1.13 INCHES SHORT OF BREAKING THE ALL-TIME
RECORD THAT WAS OBSERVED IN 1883-1884.
PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SHOULD STAY INFORMED OF THIS DEVELOPING
WET WEATHER PATTERN. MUD AND ROCK SLIDES WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY
IN AND BELOW THE RECENTLY BURNED AREAS AND NEAR STEEP TERRAIN.
At least it looks like we'll get break on Saturday...
