KAPLAN/KITTELL

SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
445 AM PST MON JAN 2 2006

...UPDATED AVIATION/MARINE DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...
SYNOPTIC SITUATION HAS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING NORTH SOUTH
AROUND 128 DEG WEST...OR ABOUT 470 NM WEST OF POINT CONCEPTION. IN
24 HOURS...THIS TROUGH EXITS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND MOVES TO
CENTRAL AZ. AHEAD OF THE TROUGH...A PLUME OF TROPICAL MOISTURE
EXTENDS FROM NEAR POINT CONCEPTION AND EXTENDS SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES
TO THE SOUTHWEST. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST MESSAGE FROM THE SATELLITE
EXPERTS IN DC...THIS BAND IS PRODUCING RAINFALL RATES OF 0.2 TO 0.3
INCHES PER HOUR. OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT SHOULD PRODUCE RAINFALL
RATES OF 0.4 TO 0.9 INCHES OVER THE SOUTH FACING SLOPES ONCE THIS
BAND MOVES ONSHORE. THESE RATES ARE IN EXCESS OF USGS RAINFALL RATES
FOR RECENT BURN AREAS. THUS...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR MUD AND
DEBRIS FLOWS HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR THE GAVIOTA BURN AREA IN
SOUTHWESTERN SBA COUNTY. FLASH FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR
THE BURN AREAS OF VEN AND LA COUNTY.

OVER NIGHT...THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE RAINFALL HAS BEEN ALONG THE
CENTRAL COAST AND OVER THE SANTA YNEZ MOUNTAINS. IN THE LAST 6
HOURS...FROM A HALF TO OVER 2 INCHES OF RAIN HAVE BEEN MEASURED OVER
THE CENTRAL COASTS OF SLO COUNTY AND WESTERN SBA COUNTY. HEAVIER
RAINS HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE SANTA YNEZ MOUNTAINS AND THE MOUNTAINS
OF WESTERN VEN COUNTY. RAINFALL OVER THESE AREAS HAS BEEN MOSTLY IN
EXCESS OF AN INCH IN THE LAST 6 HOURS...WITH SAN MARCOS PASS COMING
IN AT 3.66 INCHES...OLD MAN MOUNTAIN 3.07 INCHES...AND NORDHOFF
RIDGE AND THE UPPER MATILIJA CANYON BOTH REPORTING 2.17 INCHES...
AND THIS IS BEFORE THE FRONT MAKES THE TURN AT POINT CONCEPTION.

AT THIS TIME...RADAR SHOWS THE RAIN BAND OFF THE CENTRAL COAST
BECOMING ORIENTED MORE NORTH-SOUTH. THIS INDICATES THAT THE
STRONGEST SHOWERS OF THE MORNING ARE GETTING READY TO TURN THE
CORNER AT POINT CONCEPTION AND MOVE EASTWARD ALONG THE SOUTH COASTS
OF SBA AND VEN COUNTY. ALTHOUGH RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR THIS STORM
HAVE...SO FAR...BEEN LIGHTER THAN EXPECTED SOUTH OF POINT
CONCEPTION...THE RECENT NORTH SOUTH ORIENTATION OF THE FRONTAL BAND
INDICATES THAT THIS STORM STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL TO THE SOUTH FACING SLOPES OF THE REGION TODAY SINCE THIS
ORIENTATION FAVORS OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES IN
MOST COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS...WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 5 INCHES
EXPECTED ACROSS THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SOUTH COAST AND VENTURA
COUNTY COASTAL/VALLEY AREAS. FOOTHILL AND MOUNTAIN AREAS ARE
GENERALLY EXPECTED TO RECEIVE BETWEEN 3 AND 5 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 7 INCHES POSSIBLE IN THE SANTA YNEZ
RANGE AND VENTURA COUNTY MOUNTAINS. THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WITH A STRONG POTENTIAL FOR VERY INTENSE RAINFALL
RATES WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE MAIN FRONTAL SYSTEM. RAINFALL RATES OF
1 TO 1.5 INCHES PER HOUR POSSIBLE DURING THE PEAK OF THE EVENT. WITH
THESE INTENSE RAINFALLS...THERE EXISTS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOST RECENTLY BURNED AREAS OF VENTURA
AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES. THUS...FLASH FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN
EFFECT FOR ALL BURN AREAS AND MAJOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION WHICH
CURRENTLY INCLUDES THE SOUTH COAST OF SBA COUNTY...THE SANTA CLARITA
VALLEY...AND ALL MOUNTAINS OF SBA...VEN AND LA COUNTIES. THE
HEAVIEST SHOWERS ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF SBA...VEN AND LA SHOULD
OCCUR DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS DIMINISHING FROM THE WEST DURING THE EVENING HOURS

SNOW LEVELS WILL BE ABOVE 7000 FEET FOR THE HEAVIEST PORTION OF THE
STORM. SNOW LEVEL WILL FALL TO 5500 FEET BY LATE AFTERNOON...WHICH
WILL BE AFTER THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION HAS ENDED. STILL THE
HIGHEST PEAKS COULD SEE ONE TO TWO FEET OF SNOW ABOVE 7000 FEET.

HIGH WINDS ARE ALREADY OCCURRING WITH THIS SYSTEM. WINDS IN THE
MOUNTAINS ARE ALREADY GUSTING TO OVER 60 MPH AT CHILAO AND WINDS OF
30 TO 45 MPH ARE MORE WIDESPREAD OVER ALL MOUNTAINS. WINDS HAVE
DIMINISHED OVER THE CENTRAL COAST...SO THE WIND WARNING HAS BEEN
DROPPED THERE. HOWEVER...THE HIGHER TERRAIN OVER THE CENTRAL COAST
IS STILL SEEING SOME WINDS FROM THE SOUTH AT 35 MPH. AT
VANDENBERG...WINDS WERE GUSTING TO NEAR 40 MPH. WIND WARNINGS REMAIN
IN EFFECT FOR ALL THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE WEST AND DIMINISH OVER MOST OF THE REGION
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

.LONG TERM (TUE-SUN)...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD
AGREEMENT THOUGH THE WEEK. LOOK FOR CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE ON TUESDAY
AND LOOK EVEN BETTER WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH OFFSHORE FLOW AND
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES...HIGHS INTO
THE 70S WED THRU FRI AT SOME LOCATIONS. A STORM MOVES ONSHORE NORTH
OF THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND...PRODUCING THE SLIGHTEST OF CHANCES
FOR PRECIPITATION NORTHERN MOST PORTIONS OF SLO COUNTY AND COOLER
TEMPERATURES ELSEWHERE SAT THRU SUN.

&&

.AVIATION...
THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG UPPER TROUGH OFF THE COAST
WAS FINALLY BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE TO THE EAST AS THE UPPER TROUGH
WAS GETTING KICKED EAST BY UPSTREAM ACTIVITY. THE FRONT WILL
GENERATE HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY SOUTH WINDS OUT AHEAD OF THE
FRONTAL SURFACE. THE TIMING IS BECOMING MORE CERTAIN WITH THE
HEAVIEST ACTIVITY NOW PUSHING INTO THE COASTAL SECTIONS NORTH OF
POINT CONCEPTION. THE HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PUSH INTO
SECTIONS SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
AFTER SUNRISE. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALOS A POSSIBILITY. EAST
TO SOUTHEAST WINDS MAY REACH SPEEDS OF 25 KT WITH GUSTS TO 35 KT IN
THE MOST EXPOSED LOCATIONS JUST BEFORE FRONTAL PASSAGE. ONCE THE
FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION...THE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST
TO SOUTHWEST AND DECREASE WHILE THE RAIN SUBSIDES.

&&

.MARINE...
STILL ON TRACK FOR MAJOR SWELL/SURF EVENT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY. MODELS STILL INDICATE LONG-PERIOD WESTERLY SWELLS
BUILDING TO AROUND 20 FEET ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS...AND TO AROUND
13 FEET ACROSS THE INNER WATERS. GIVEN THE SWELL HEIGHTS...WILL KEEP
THE HIGH SURF ADVISORIES IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL AREAS THROUGH
TUESDAY. EXPECTING BREAKERS OF 7 TO 10 FEET WITH MAX SETS TO 12 FEET
THROUGH TUESDAY. WITH MORNING HIGH TIDES TO REACH AROUND 6.5 FEET
THE NEXT COUPLE OF MORNING...COASTAL FLOODING WILL BE A CONTINUED
THREAT. SO...WILL ALSO KEEP COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH
TUESDAY.

IN SHORTER TERM...SE WINDS AHEAD OF FRONT WILL PRODUCE GALE FORCE
WINDS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT/MONDAY MORNING...BEFORE
TURNING TO THE WEST MONDAY AFTERNOON. AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH...THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE A THREAT ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS...WITH LIGHTNING/HEAVY RAIN/GUSTY WINDS AND WATERSPOUTS ALL
POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS.
