NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1140 AM PST TUE JAN 19 2010

NEW AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF POWERFUL PACIFIC STORMS WILL BRING
SIGNIFICANT RAIN...SNOW...PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS AND SOME VERY
GUSTY WINDS AT TIMES TO THE AREA THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-THU)...THE SECOND IN A SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS
TO AFFECT THE DISTRICT WAS MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL COAST THIS
MORNING. THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM WILL MOVE QUICKLY
E THRU THE REGION...MOVING OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON
ALTHOUGH RESIDUAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE FOR A WHILE TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT AS POWERFUL AS THE
ONE THAT BLEW THROUGH THE REGION YESTERDAY...BUT IT WILL STILL BRING
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS TO SLO/SBA COUNTIES AND MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF VTU/L.A. COUNTIES AND INTO THE ANTELOPE VALLEY...WHERE
WIND ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. THIS SYSTEM
WILL ALSO BRING A PERIOD OF MAINLY MODERATE RAIN TO THE DISTRICT
THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON OVER SLO/SBA COUNTIES...AND OVER
VTU/L.A. COUNTIES FROM LATER THIS MORNING THRU MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON
BEFORE TAPERING TO SHOWERS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
ANY THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL. DUE TO THE EXPECTED SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL
AND WET SOILS IN PLACE...THERE IS A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR
THE RECENT BURN AREAS THRU THIS EVENING. SNOW LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO
FALL TO 5000 TO 5500 FEET TODAY AND TONIGHT...WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW
EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ABOVE 5500 FEET. WITH THE SNOW AND GUSTY
WINDS...THERE IS A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR THE
VTU/L.A. COUNTY MTNS TODAY THRU MUCH OF TONIGHT. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
WITH THIS SECOND STORM IS EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 0.75 INCH TO 1.50
INCHES...WITH LOCAL TOTALS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS AND
MOUNTAINS BELOW THE SNOW LEVEL...AND IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE
THUNDERSTORMS.

THERE WILL BE A PARTIAL BREAK IN THE PRECIP LATER TONIGHT INTO WED
MORNING...WITH JUST A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS...THEN THE THIRD AND
MORE POWERFUL PACIFIC STORM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE DISTRICT
LATER WED MORNING THRU EARLY WED EVENING WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF VERY
STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS...MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN... A
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...AND SIGNIFICANT MOUNTAIN SNOWS. YET

MORE SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW POSSIBLE ON THU AS WELL.
THERE ARE ALREADY HIGH WIND WATCHES WINTER STORM WATCHES IN EFFECT
FOR THESE SYSTEMS...AND ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOOD WATCHES ARE
CERTAIN...WHICH MAY ALSO INCLUDE NON-BURN AREAS AS THE GROUND
APPROACHES SATURATION...AND CREEKS AND SMALL RIVERS FILL UP. THE
ONE-TWO PUNCH OF THE WED AND THU STORMS WILL BRING THE LIKELIHOOD OF
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL TO THE DISTRICT. PRELIMINARY RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR
WED THRU THU ARE 2 TO 4 INCHES OVER THE COASTS AND VLYS AND 4 TO 8
INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS BELOW THE SNOW LEVEL. 2 TO 4 FEET OF SNOW
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE WITH THESE SYSTEMS.

...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...THE LARGE UPPER LOW KICKS EASTWARD FRIDAY AND
CLOUDS AND SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY. THE GFS DOES NOT
BRING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL BUT THE NAM DOES BRING
UP TO AN INCH MORE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL.

BOTH THE GFS AND EC BRING A NICE RIDGE INTO THE AREA SAT AND SUN AND
THESE TWO DAYS SHOULD BE DRY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND WARMER

ANOTHER SYSTEM COULD ARRIVE OVER THE AREA MONDAY WHICH IS GOOD FOR
AN INCREASE OF CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF RAIN.
