...HEAVY DOWNPOURS STILL POSSIBLE TO PRODUCE LOCAL FLOODING OF LOW
   LYING URBAN AREAS...SMALL RIVERS AND STEAMS...

.SHORT TERM...
LAST GASP OF THE STORM WILL AFFECT THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND INTO
MONDAY MORNING. THE UPPER LOW HAS OPENED UP AND IS OVER WESTERN SBA
COUNTY. PVA ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE STORM IS KEEPING THE SHOWER AND
ACTIVITY GOING FROM POINT CONCEPTION INTO L.A. COUNTY NORTH OF POINT
CONCEPTION THE UNSTABLE AIR WITH THE LOW REMNANTS IS KEEPING THE
PRECIP GOING. EXTENDED THE WINTER STORM WARNING TIL MID MORNING WITH
SNOW LEVELS CURRENTLY AT 5000 FEET AND HEADING TO 4000 FEET
OVERNIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW THERE WILL BE AN ICE HAZARD
OVERNIGHT AS FREEZING TEMPS WILL FREEZE THE RAIN AND SNOW MELT. WITH
ALL OF THE SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE SBA MOUNTAINS HAVE ADDED A SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY THERE AND WITH THE GRADIENTS OVER THE DESERTS
ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY TIL MONDAY EARLY EVENING FOR THE ANTELOPE
VALLEY. STILL A SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS WITH ALL THE INSTABILITY AND
PVA AROUND BUT WILL DARK SKIES AND LOTS OF CLOUDS NOT A GREAT
CHANCE. THE LAST THING TO WATCH IS A VORT LOBE 33.6/121.8. IT HAD
COOLING TOP EARLIER BUT NOT IS WARMING. JUST RECENTLY IT TOOK A MORE
NORTHERLY TURN. THIS VORT LOBE WILL LIKELY PRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS FOR MOST OF THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT.

00Z WRF SHOWS PRECIP ENDING MONDAY EARLY AFTERNOON SAVE A FEW
SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS (MOSTLY NORTH SLOPES) TUESDAY IS STILL ON
TRACK TO BE DRY AND NOW THE TUESDAY NIGHT SYSTEM SEEMS A LITTLE
WEAKER AND WILL LIKELY ONLY HAVE A CHC OF BRINGING RAIN TO THE
CENTRAL COAST.

...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

SO FAR...STORM TOTALS FOR THIS SYSTEM ARE RUNNING THREE QUARTERS UP
TO 3.25 INCHES COASTAL...AND 1.3 INCHES TO OVER 4 INCHES ALONG THE
COASTAL SLOPES. OBSERVED RAINFALL RATES IN THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
BEEN AS HIGH AS 1.6 INCHES PER HOUR. SO ANY AREAS THAT EXPERIENCE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD EASILY SEE ANOTHER INCH OR TWO OF RAIN THIS
EVENING. EXPECTED STORM TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ALONG THE COASTS
WITH 3 TO 5 INCHES...LOCALLY 7 INCHES...STILL SEEM TO BE RELIABLE
NUMBERS. SNOW LEVELS HAVE BEEN HIGH TODAY...RUNNING OVER 8000 FEET
EARLIER TODAY. LEVELS ARE DROPPING AT THIS TIME AND ARE EXPECTED TO
PLUMMET OVERNIGHT TO AROUND 4000 FEET AS THE SHOWERS DIMINISH. WE
ARE LOOKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 5 TO 7 INCHES...LOCALLY UP TO A FOOT
OF ADDITIONAL SNOW...OVERNIGHT. THESE ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MOSTLY
AT LEVELS ABOVE 5000 FEET.

EXPECT SHOWERS TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY LATE TONIGHT...
LINGERING THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...ESPECIALLY OVER HIGH TERRAIN.
IN FACT...SOME SHOWERS COULD CONTINUE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN MONDAY
NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH NEXT WEEK. ALL
MODELS AGREE THAT TODAYS STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE RAPIDLY TO THE EAST
AND THROUGH THE REGION TODAY. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF
INSIDE SLIDERS THAT WILL PASS JUST NORTH OF THE REGION THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD. THE FIRST INSIDE SLIDER
WILL FOLLOW DIRECTLY ON THE HEALS OF TODAYS DEPARTING STORM. THIS
WILL BE A DRIER TYPE OF FRONTAL PASSAGE THAT WILL PROBABLY GIVE US A
CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS ON MONDAY...BUT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE OF MUCH
CONSEQUENCE COMPARED TO TODAYS EVENT. MODELS THEN HAVE A PERIOD OF
MAINLY ZONAL FLOW EARLY TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY YET ANOTHER INSIDE
SLIDER LATE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL PRESENT A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS...MAINLY TO THE CENTRAL COAST. LATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
ALL THE MODELS HAVE WEAK RIDGING OVER THE REGION...SO IT SHOULD BE
THE DRIEST DAY OF THE WEEK. THEN THE MODELS CALL FOR TWO MORE INSIDE
SLIDERS...THE FIRST ON FRIDAY AND YET ANOTHER LATE SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE OUTLOOK PERIOD WILL BE UNSETTLED
WITH A NUMBER OF CHANCES FOR LIGHT RAIN AND SHOWERS...BUT NONE OF
THESE SYSTEMS SHOULD BE AS POWERFUL AND DURABLE AS THE STORM THAT
HAS BEEN IMPACTING THE REGION FOR MOST OF THE LAST WEEK.

PERSIST OVER KBUR AND REDEVELOP OVER KLAX. DEVELOPING CIGS HEIGHTS
