This is the first report I've seen that explains what's happening here - from the most recent Eastern Pacific Weather Discussion:


A 1008 MB LOW IS CENTERED NEAR 17N109W. THIS LOW IS EMBEDDED IN THE MONSOON TROUGH THAT EXTENDS FROM 11N120W TO 18N105W. THE SW MONSOONAL FLOW IS ADVECTING TROPICAL MOISTURE NORTHEASTWARD ON
THE EAST SIDE OF THE LOW. FRESH TO STRONG SW WINDS ARE SOUTH OF THE LOW AND ARE HELPING KEEP SEAS IN THE 8 TO 11 FT RANGE IN SW SWELL. THE LOW IS FORECAST TO SHIFT GRADUALLY NORTHWESTWARD OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE MONSOON TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS EASTWARD AND WINDS AND SEAS BEGIN TO
DIMINISH.


I think what it means is that we'll continue to see rain today and maybe tomorrow. Yesterday's total was .70/inch, bringing this month's rainfall to 4.96 inches - better than last year but still not great.
