AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
330 AM PST FRI MAR 10 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A SLOW MOVING WINTER STORM WILL BRING HEAVY SNOW AND
STRONG WINDS TO THE MOUNTAINS AND SOME HIGH DESERT AREAS OF EXTREME
SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA...AND CHILLY...BREEZY...AND SHOWERY WEATHER TO
THE COASTS...VALLEYS...AND LOWER DESERTS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
AND SATURDAY WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE IN THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS...AND HEAVY SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH DESERTS.
THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO WIND DOWN SUNDAY WITH DRY WEATHER FOLLOWING
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES.

DOPPLER RADAR HAS SHOWN A STEADY STREAM OF SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN VERY LIGHT...BUT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW
MUCH SNOW MAY BE ACCUMULATING IN AREA MTNS. RAWS OBSERVATIONS
SUGGEST THAT THE SNOW LEVEL IS BETWEEN 3.5K AND 4K FT. NIGHT CAMS AT
BIG BEAR SHOW SNOW HAS BEEN FALLING AND ACCUMULATING. IN
ADDITION...STRONG WINDS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AT MANY LOCATIONS...
INCLUDING THE DESERTS WITH GUSTS IN THE 35 TO 40 MPH RANGE. THE IR
SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS A THICK BLANKET OF CLOUDS TO 12K FT SHROUDING
THE MTNS OF SW CA WITH COLDER...HIGHER  CLOUDS RAPIDLY APPROACHING
FROM THE NW. THE WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS THE INITIAL SPEED MAX THAT
KICKED OFF OUR PRECIPITATION AND STRONG WINDS BEGINNING YESTERDAY
EVENING...NOW ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. DERIVED WIND FLOW
INDICATED THE MAIN 160 KT JET CORE STILL NEAR 45N/145W...OVER THE E
PACIFIC. OPEN CELL CUMULUS INDICATIVE OF VERY COLD AIR AND
INSTABILITY ARE STREAMING RAPIDLY SE AND SHOULD BE OVER SPREADING SW
CA TODAY.

ALL THIS SPELLS A VERY ACTIVE SIEGE OF WEATHER FOR US AND IT WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO BREAK OUT START TIMES FOR THE WORST OF IT. BECAUSE OF
ONGOING WEATHER IN THE MTNS...THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO GO AHEAD AND
ISSUE THE WINTER STORM WARNING WITH THE CAVEAT THAT THE WORST...OR
BEST...IF YOU ARE A WINTER WEATHER ENTHUSIAST...IS YET TO COME. WITH
LESS SNOW AND WIND...WINTER WEATHER CRITERIA SHOULD BE MET FOR THE
SANTA ANA MOUNTAINS AS WELL.

THE ECMWF/UK/GFS MODELS REMAIN IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE
EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS
SHOW DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY PEAKING ON SAT...THEN GRADUALLY
WINDING DOWN THROUGH SUN. STEADY W TO SW UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD KEEP
SNOW FALLING IN THE MTNS ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY...ALTHOUGH AT TIMES IT
WILL BE LIGHT. THE WINDS WILL ALSO FLUCTUATE AND BE VERY STRONG AT
TIMES...SO WINTER STORM CRITERIA IS LIKELY TO BE MET AT TIMES
THROUGH SAT NIGHT. TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY TO BE
QUITE HEAVY IN FAVORED AREAS WHERE UPSLOPE AND CONVECTION COMBINE.
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME SPOTS WITH OVER TWO FEET AT
RESORT LEVELS AND HIGHER. LESSER AMOUNTS BELOW 5000 FEET.

BELOW 3K FT...CONVECTION COULD RESULT IN HEAVY DOWNPOURS OF RAIN AND
ICE PELLETS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND
EVEN WATERSPOUTS...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT AND SATURDAY AS THE MAIN JET
CORE ADVANCES JUST TO OUR SW...PLACING US IN THE FAVORABLE LEFT
FRONT QUADRANT WHICH MAXIMIZES LIFT AND INSTABILITY. THIS WILL PEAK
ON SAT MORNING. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED DUE TO
THE SHOWERY NATURE OF THIS EVENT...THE LOW SNOW LEVELS...AND FAST
MOVEMENT OF CELLS...WHERE CONVECTION TRAINS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS
POSSIBLE. THE BURN AREAS WILL BE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE AND THE DAY SHIFT
MAY CONSIDER ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THESE AREAS.

ALL MODELS POINT TOWARD DRYING AND WARMING THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK
UNDER BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT.

&&

.AVIATION...
STRONG WEST WINDS ALOFT WILL GENERATE MODERATE OR GREATER TURBULENCE
OVER TERRAIN WITH MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY AND LOCAL LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR. CIGS BETWEEN 3000-5000 FT BUT LOCALLY LOWER AS SHOWERS MOVE
THROUGH LATE TODAY. MODERATE OR GREATER MIXED ICING THREAT AS THE
PRECIPITATION INCREASES OVER THE REGION. FAIRLY DEEP LOWER LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL GENERATE PLENTY OF MTN OBSCURATIONS THROUGH SAT NIGHT.
