SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
200 PM PST FRI FEB 26 2010

.SYNOPSIS...

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...THAT WILL
BE COLD AND UNSTABLE. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN FOR
NICE WEATHER ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY A WEAK STORM SYSTEM
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...PRETTY STRONG SYSTEM BEARING DOWN ON
CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON. GOES ESTIMATES STILL SHOWING PWATS IN THE
1.2-1.3 INCH RANGE WITH THE FRONT WHICH MATCHES MODEL GUIDANCE. SO
FAR IT'S MOVING AT A PRETTY GOOD CLIP, 30-40 KT. THIS MAY SLOW
SOMEWHAT AS THE TROF TAKES ON A SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE TILT TONIGHT. IN
ANY CASE, FORECAST IS STILL ON TRACK FOR ABOUT A 6 HOUR BURST OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WITH THE FRONT STARTING THIS EVENING FOR THE
CENTRAL COAST AND THEN WORKING SOUTH INTO LA COUNTY BY SUNRISE. 18Z
MODELS OFFERED LITTLE NEW INSIGHT INTO THE STORM SO THE FORECAST
ISN'T MUCH CHANGED FROM EARLIER EDITIONS. PROBABLY THE BIGGEST
CHANGE WAS TO SPEED UP THE STORM THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY AND
INDICATE RAIN TURNING TO SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY AND THEN TAPERING
OFF PRETTY QUICKLY BY EVENING.

BURN AREA FLOOD WATCHES LOOK APPROPRIATE AND NO CHANGES THERE. WITH
DECENT UPSLOPE SOUTHERLY FLOW ENHANCING PRECIP ACROSS THE TRANSVERSE
RANGES RAINFALL RATES WITH THE FRONT COULD REACH OR EXCEED USGS
THRESHOLDS FOR MUD AND DEBRIS FLOWS. PLEASE REFER TO LATEST QPS AND
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR DETAILS ON RAINFALL AMOUNTS. IN ADDITION,
DECENT CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WITH THIS SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY FOLLOWING
THE FRONT AS THE COLDER AIR ARRIVES. THE BEST THREAT FOR STORMS WILL
BE OVER THE WATER, BUT ADJACENT LAND ZONES, INCLUDING THE VALLEYS
AND FOOTHILLS WITH BE AT RISK AS WELL WHICH ADDS AN ADDITIONAL
THREAT TO THE BURN AREAS.

THE CONVECTIVE THREAT INCLUDES A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME LATE TONIGHT
AND EARLY SATURDAY WHEN THE LOW LVL SHEAR PROFILE IS SUFFICIENT TO
GENERATE WATERSPOUTS. PROBABLY THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE OFF THE COAST
OF LA/ORANGE COUNTIES SATURDAY MORNING. LOW LVL SHEAR BECOMES LESS
PRONOUNCED THROUGH THE DAY BUT CAN'T RULE OUT MORE ACTIVITY IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH THE UPPER LOW MOVING OVERHEAD.

THIS WILL BE A GOOD DUMP OF SNOW FOR LOCAL SKI RESORTS, BUT IT WILL
TAKE A LITTLE TIME BEFORE THE SNOW LEVELS FALL ENOUGH TO BRING
ACCUMULATING SNOW BELOW 6000 FEET. WINTER STORM WATCH WAS CONVERTED
TO A WARNING FOR THE VENTURA/LA MOUNTAINS. UP TO 18 INCHES POSSIBLE
FOR HIGHER ELEVATIONS, AND LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE DOWN TO 4500
OR 5000 FEET BY SATURDAY, ESPECIALLY WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.

LAX-SFO GRADIENT UP TO ABOUT 10 MB THIS AFTERNOON WHICH IS WHAT THE
MODELS HAD BEEN TARGETING. WINDS SHOULD REACH ADVISORY LEVELS FOR
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL COAST TONIGHT WITH SOME
BORDERLINE ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS AT LOWER ELEVATIONS. WINDS WILL
START TO DECREASE POST-FRONTAL LATER TONIGHT UP THERE WITH GUSTY
WINDS CONTINUING IN THE LA/VTU MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE LATE MORNING
HOURS. MAY ALSO GET SOME GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE PASSES
INTO THE ANTELOPE VALLEY BUT WILL NOT ISSUE AN ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.

SHOWERS WILL BE TAPERING OFF SATURDAY NIGHT WITH JUST SOME LINGERING
UPSLOPE SHOWERS FOR NORTH FACING SLOPES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. COOL
AND DRY ELSEWHERE SUNDAY WITH SOME LOCALLY GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS IN
THE MOUNTAINS AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS OF SRN SBA COUNTY. DRY
AND WARMER MONDAY WITH HIGHS GETTING BACK TO NEAR NORMALS.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO INDICATE A COUPLE
OF WEAK SYSTEMS COMING IN TUE AND WED, THOUGH THE EXACT TIMING IS
SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN. PRECIP, IF ANY, IS EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT. THU IS
EXPECTED TO BE DRY BUT THE GFS SHOWS A SOMEWHAT STRONGER STORM
POSSIBLE FOR LATE NEXT FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...26/1945Z.
TODAY WILL BE THE LAST PEACEFUL PERIOD FOR A WHILE. CLOUDS ARE
ALREADY INCREASING AS A LARGE WINTER STORM BEARS DOWN ON SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. GOOD CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS TODAY DETERIORATING TO
MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT. THE TIMING FOR THE HEAVIEST RAIN
LOOKS TO BE 06Z TO 12Z SAT FOR AREAS NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION AND
12Z TO 18Z SAT FOR AREAS SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER THROUGH SATURDAY
EVENING.

KLAX...VFR CONDITIONS TODAY WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING...BEFORE
MVFR TO OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO CEILINGS AND INCREASING
PRECIPITATION LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. THERE IS A 50
PERCENT CHANCE OF EAST TO SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS OF 10 KT OR MORE
SAT MORNING. GOOD CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST.

KBUR...VFR CONDITIONS TODAY WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING...BEFORE
MVFR TO OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO CEILINGS AND INCREASING
PRECIPITATION LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. GOOD CONFIDENCE IN
FORECAST.

...WINTER STORM TO BRING A MIXED BAG OF WEATHER TO SOUTHWEST
CALIFORNIA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...

A STORM SYSTEM OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL LIKELY AFFECT SOUTHWEST
CALIFORNIA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. MID AND HIGH LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH THE DAY...WITH A CHANCE
OF LIGHT RAIN REACHING THE CENTRAL COAST BY LATE AFTERNOON.
THE BULK OF THE RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN A 4 TO 6 HOUR
PERIOD PRIOR TO THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. AT THIS TIME...THE BEST
ESTIMATE FOR TIMING OF THIS HEAVIER RAINFALL IS FRIDAY EVENING
ACROSS THE CENTRAL COAST AND LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING FOR
VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES.

HIGHER INTENSITY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED
WITH THE COLD FRONT. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...A COLD AND UNSTABLE AIR
MASS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING THE THREAT OF ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERTORMS INTO EARLY SATURDAY EVENING. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT
DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS...GUSTY WINDS...AND SMALL HAIL. SINCE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR RAINFALL RATES TO EXCEED USGS THRESHOLDS...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
IS IN EFFECT FOR THE RECENT BURN AREAS OF SANTA BARBARA AND LOS ANGELES
COUNTIES. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST FLASH FLOOD WATCH PRODUCT FOR
MORE DETAILS. RAINFALL ESTIMATES THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING ARE
GENERALLY EXPECTED TO RANGE BETWEEN 0.75 TO 1.50 INCHES ACROSS
COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS...WITH 1.50 TO 2.50 INCHES IN FAVORED
FOOTHILL AND COASTAL SLOPE LOCATIONS. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE NEAR THUNDERSTORMS.

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS WILL ALSO BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR ISOLATED
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLE WATERSPOUTS LATE TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY MORNING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL
WATERS...ESPECIALLY FROM POINT MUGU SOUTHWARD TO HUNTINGTON
BEACH...INCLUDING THE SAN PEDRO CHANNEL AND SANTA MONICA BAY. ANY
WATERSPOUTS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MOVE ASHORE AS
WEAK TORNADOES ALONG THE COAST.

SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 7000 FEET INITIALLY...BUT WILL
LIKELY LOWER TO AROUND 5000 FEET ON SATURDAY...WITH LOCALLY LOWER
SNOW LEVELS NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST WINTER
STORM WATCH PRODUCT FOR MORE DETAILS ON UPCOMING WINTER WEATHER
CONDITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS.

RESIDENTS AND EMERGENCY OFFICIALS ARE URGED TO STAY TUNED TO THE
LATEST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS AS THIS
STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO EVOLVE.
