Rain ... and all its fallout ... is what is on the newsroom radar today. This morning, reporters and photographers are checking out the impact from four days of heavy rain on La Conchita and Highway 101 north of Ventura, Highway 33 area between Ojai and Ventura and along the Santa Clara River. Ken Maryanski (kmaryanski@VenturaCountyStar.com), our West County bureau chief, is coordinating our coverage today throughout Ventura County. Page One tomorrow looks to be dominated by storm coverage with photos, graphics/maps and at least two stories. We'll also look at the state impact, as at least three people have died in Southern California in storm-related accidents.

There are a couple of other possible local stories that could make it to Page One, but the reality is that they will in all likelihood be held at least a day to make sure we have sufficient space to cover the storm impact.

The big story off the news wire this morning is President Bush's continuing trip to Europe, including remarks made there about Syria and Lebanon.
