SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
150 PM PST THU FEB 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ORIGINATING FROM CANADA WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...THE IMPACT WILL BRING THE
THREAT OF RAIN WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS AND STRONG WINDS TO THE MOUNTAINS AND VERY
LOW ELEVATION SNOW. DRY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SUN)...A VERY COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE
COAST OF WASHINGTON WILL DROP SOUTH TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO SLO AND SBA COUNTIES DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY, HOWEVER INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW AND LOW LVL MOISTURE WILL
LIKELY GENERATE SOME PRE-FRONTAL SHOWERS ACROSS VENTURA AND LA
COUNTIES, ESPECIALLY BY AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTH DURING
THE EVENING. AS THIS HAPPENS AND THE SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH THE FRONT
HITS THE TRANSVERSE RANGES PRECIP RATES WILL RAMP UP QUITE A BIT.
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY THROUGH LA COUNTY BY 12Z
SATURDAY, BUT PLENTY OF COLD AIR AND MOISTURE WILL GENERATE A FAIR
AMOUNT OF SHOWER ACTIVITY, ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. THERE IS
SOME INSTABILITY AND 500 MB TEMPS ARE WELL BELOW -30C, BUT THE
SURFACE WILL BE QUITE COLD AS WELL SO I'M REALLY NOT EXPECTING LAPSE
RATES TO BE HIGH ENOUGH TO GENERATE MORE THAN JUST AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO AT BEST. BEST CHANCES WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE
COAST AND COASTAL WATERS WHERE SURFACE TEMPS WILL BE WARMER AND
LAPSE RATES HIGHER.

SNOW LEVELS WILL START OUT AROUND 3500 FEET EARLY FRIDAY BUT RISE
QUICKLY DURING THE DAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT TO 5000 FEET OR HIGHER.
WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY EVENING NORTH OF PT CONCEPTION AND
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR EARLY SATURDAY ACROSS LA COUNTIES, SNOW LEVELS
WILL BE FALLING RAPIDLY. HOWEVER, WITH THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE
PASSING THROUGH WITH THE FRONT, THERE MAY NOT BE A LOT LEFT TO
GENERATE ACCUMULATING SNOW MUCH BELOW ABOUT 2500 FEET. SHOWER AND
POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SATURDAY COULD RESULT IN SNOW FLAKES
REACHING THE SURFACE AS LOW AS 500 FEET, BUT IT'S UNLIKELY TO
ACCUMULATE AT THAT LEVEL. FOR THIS REASON THE WINTER STORM WATCHES
HAVE BEEN MODIFIED SOMEWHAT. THE BIGGEST ADJUSTMENT WAS TO CANCEL
THE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS. WHILE A
COUPLE OF INCHES ACCUMULATION ARE LIKELY AT THE HIGHER PEAKS AND
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY WELL BE NEEDED SATURDAY, I DON'T SEE
WARNING LEVEL AMOUNTS THERE UNLESS A CONVECTIVE BURST JUST HAPPENS
TO DEVELOP THERE. FOR INTERIOR SLO COUNTY, THE CUYAMA VALLEY, AND
THE ANTELOPE VALLEY, DECIDED TO DELAY THE WATCHES BY 6-12 HOURS AS
SNOW LEVELS JUST WON'T BE LOW ENOUGH THAT EARLY IN THE EVENT. THIS
REALLY ISN'T A GREAT SETUP FOR WARNING LEVEL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN
THE AV, ESPECIALLY ON THE VALLEY FLOOR, BUT I COULD STILL SEE 3-6
INCHES FALLING IN THE FOOTHILLS ABOVE 3500 FEET SATURDAY. ULTIMATELY
IT LOOKS MORE LIKE AN ADVISORY EVENT THERE BUT WILL KEEP THE WATCH
UP FOR NOW GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY AND IT STILL BEING 36-48 HOURS OUT.
SIMILAR SITUATION FOR THE CUYAMA VALLEY AND INTERIOR SLO COUNTY.
WITHOUT A GOOD NORTHEAST FLOW DEVELOPING IT'S HARD TO SEE THAT AREA
GETTING SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS. AGAIN, PROBABLY MORE OF AN
ADVISORY EVENT WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS BUT LEFT WATCH UP FOR NOW.

BUMPED UP RAINFALL TOTALS A BIT AS SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH THE
FRONT AND PWATS AROUND AN INCH SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE PERIODS
OF HEAVY RAIN FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE WEST AND
SOUTH FACING MOUNTAIN SLOPES. OVERALL AMOUNTS ONE HALF TO ONE INCH
CST/VALLEYS AND 1-3 MTNS. ONE TO TWO FEET OF SNOW IS EXPECTED ABOVE
5000 FEET, DROPPING TO A FEW INCHES AT AROUND 2500 FEET.

PRETTY GOOD SOUTHWEST WIND WITH THE FRONT AND WE MAY NEED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE AV FRIDAY.

COOL AND DRY SUNDAY. MAY STILL HAVE A LITTLE LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS
EARLY SUNDAY ON THE NORTH SLOPES BUT THESE SHOULD BE GONE BY
AFTERNOON. WILL ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE FROST ADVISORIES
AND/OR FREEZE WARNINGS SUNDAY MORNING FOR THE LA/VENTURA VALLEYS AND
EVEN THE VENTURA COUNTY COAST.

.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...DRY WITH A WARMING TREND MON-TUE. GFS/ECMWF
STILL SHOWING A WEAK SYSTEM FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. KEPT IN LOW
POPS NORTH OF PT CONCEPTION WED AND INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIP IN THE SOUTH ON THURSDAY. MUCH MORE MILD TEMPERATURES THOUGH
WITH HIGHS GETTING CLOSE TO NORMALS BY WED/THU

&&

.AVIATION...24/1800Z.
LIKE YESTERDAY...WOULD EXPECT A FIELD OF STRATOCUMULUS TO CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. THE CLOUDS MAY HANG AROUND
TONIGHT WITH GOOD ONSHORE FLOW INTENSIFYING AHEAD OF THE FRIDAY
STORM. THE STORM WILL BRING DOWN CEILINGS AND CREATE SOME
PRECIPITATION NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION BY FRIDAY MORNING AND SPREAD
ACROSS THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR
FRIDAY EVENING. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE STORM EXPECT MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS. THE FREEZING LEVEL IS 6 KFT TODAY AND FRIDAY...DROPPING
SHARPLY TO 2 TO 3 KFT ON SATURDAY.

KLAX AND KBUR...GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE 18Z TAFS.

...A VERY COLD STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA FRIDAY
   INTO SATURDAY...

A VERY COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ORIGINATING FROM CANADA IS MOVING
SOUTH ALONG THE WEST COAST TODAY...AND WILL BRING RAIN AND LOW
ELEVATION SNOW TO THE AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING RAIN...WITH SNOW ABOVE ABOUT 4000
FEET...TO SANTA BARBARA AND SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES STARTING FRIDAY
MORNING. FURTHER SOUTH IN VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES...LIGHT
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE DAY AHEAD OF FRONT...WITH
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THOSE COUNTIES AND INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS ENHANCE
PRECIPITATION RATES...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH FACING MOUNTAIN
SLOPES.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...A VERY COLD AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS INTO SATURDAY. SOME OF THESE POST-FRONTAL STORMS COULD
BRING BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS...HAIL...GUSTY WINDS...AND WATERSPOUTS.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM ONE HALF TO ONE INCH
ACROSS THE COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS...WITH ONE TO THREE INCHES
POSSIBLE IN THE FOOTHILLS AND LOWER MOUNTAIN ELEVATIONS.

THE MAIN IMPACTS OF THIS UPCOMING STORM SYSTEM WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION AND STRONG WINDS IN THE
MOUNTAINS...AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY LOW SNOW LEVELS BEHIND
THE FRONT. THE MAJORITY OF THE SNOWFALL IN THE MOUNTAINS IS EXPECTED
TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT...WHEN SNOW LEVELS ARE GENERALLY
EXPECTED TO BE 4000 TO 5000 FEET. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...SNOW
LEVELS WILL FALL RAPIDLY...AS LOW AS 500 FEET NORTH OF POINT
CONCEPTION...AND 1000 FEET SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION. PRELIMINARY
SNOW ESTIMATES WITH THIS UPCOMING STORM SYSTEM ARE 1 TO 2 FEET
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE 5000 FEET...WITH LESSER ACCUMULATIONS
BELOW 5000 FEET.  LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...LIGHTER SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ANTELOPE VALLEY
FLOOR...SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS...AND SANTA CLARITA VALLEY. IN
ADDITION...MANY FOOTHILL AND HIGHER VALLEY LOCATIONS WILL BE AT RISK
FOR LIGHT SNOWFALL...ESPECIALLY THOSE COMMUNITIES NEAR THE MOUNTAINS.

IN ADDITION...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING OVER 50 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONT...POTENTIALLY CREATING BRIEF WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS.

SNOW AND ICY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY IMPACT MANY OF OUR MAJOR MOUNTAIN
ROADWAYS...INCLUDING INTERSTATE 5 FROM THE GRAPEVINE TO SANTA
CLARITA...AS WELL AS HIGHWAY 14 FROM SANTA CLARITA VALLEY TO THE
ANTELOPE VALLEY...INCLUDING THE SOLEDAD CANYON. DUE TO THE UNUSUALLY
LOW SNOW LEVELS EXPECTED...SOME OF THE LOWER ELEVATION ROADWAYS THAT
ARE ESPECIALLY AT RISK FOR SNOW INCLUDE HIGHWAY 101 (ESPECIALLY
NEAR CUESTA PASS)...HIGHWAY 154...HIGHWAYS 41 AND 46 IN SAN LUIS
OBISPO COUNTY...AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS 126 AND 118 IN VENTURA COUNTY.

THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING SOME OF THE LOWEST SNOW LEVELS
WE HAVE SEEN IN RECENT TIMES. WITH SUCH LOW SNOW LEVELS
POSSIBLE...THIS UPCOMING STORM SYSTEM COULD BE DEADLY FOR UNPREPARED
MOTORISTS...CAMPERS OR HIKERS. ANYONE PLANNING TO TRAVEL INTO THE
MOUNTAINS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR WINTER STORM
CONDITIONS WITH VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS. REMEMBER TO
ALWAYS CARRY AN EMERGENCY KIT IN YOUR CAR IN CASE YOU ENCOUNTER
HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. STAY TUNED FOR THE LATEST NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS AS THIS UNUSUALLY COLD
WINTER STORM APPROACHES THE SOUTHLAND.
