Forecasters had predicted the wet weather would arrive with similar intensity to last week’s storm, which prompted evacuations and triggered fast-moving debris flows near the Holy fire burn area in Trabuco Canyon and Lake Elsinore. However, dry easterly winds are expected to remove some of the moisture from this system, meaning precipitation will be considerably lighter, said Rich Thompson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
