AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
955 AM PST MON DEC 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A MOIST WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN WILL BRING SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION TO AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS TODAY. FOR
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...A PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
THROUGH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BRINGING LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS TO AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS WITH GREATEST
AMOUNTS ON THE COASTAL MOUNTAIN SLOPES. DRY WITH STRONG NORTH WINDS
FOR LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. WARMER AND DRY FOR THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. A SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC IS EXPECTED TO BRING MORE PRECIPITATION
SOME TIME SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

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

THIS MORNING...OCCLUDED WARM FRONT EVIDENT IN THE SOUNDINGS AND
SURFACE STATIONS FROM THE MOUNTAINS....5 TO 10 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT
WARMING IN PAST 24 HOURS IN THE 3000-12000 FT MSL LAYER...AND CLOSE
TO 15 DEGREES WARMING ABOVE 12000 FT MSL. EXCEPT FOR COLD AIR
TRAPPED IN MOUNTAIN LAKE VALLEYS...SNOW LEVEL/FREEZING LEVEL HAS
RISEN TO ABOVE 9000 FEET. AIR MASS IS QUITE MOIST BELOW 6500 FEET SO
LIGHT RAIN/FOG HAVE BEEN OCCURRING OVERNIGHT/THIS MORNING MOST
LOCATIONS FROM MOUNTAINS/WESTWARD.

THE 17/12 NAM12/GFS MODEL RUNS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH 17/00Z RUNS OF
GEM/ECMWF/UKMET MODELS...ONLY ANTICIPATE SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO
CURRENT GRIDS....OTHERWISE FORECAST TREND/INTENSITY LOOKS GOOD.

THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON/1300 PST...LITTLE CHANGE FROM CURRENT
WEATHER. CONTINUING WEAK DIVERGENCE ALOFT AND MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW
ALONG W-NW COASTAL SLOPES WILL PROVIDE LIFTING MECHANISMS TO
GENERATE DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN/FOG.

MID AFTERNOON/1400 PST THROUGH THIS EVENING/2200 PST...WEAK RIDGING
AHEAD OF COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO ALONG A
LINE FROM BAKERSFIELD TO SAN NICOLAS ISLAND. NET SUBSIDENCE ALOFT
SHOULD TEMPORARILY END PRECIPITATION AND BRING PARTIAL CLEARING
ACROSS SW CALIFORNIA.

AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...LIGHT/MODERATE RAIN WITH
SNOW LEVEL DROPPING TO 6000 FEET AS COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS SW
CALIFORNIA. ONSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES TO NEAR 10 MB FROM
OFFSHORE WATERS TO CALIFORNIA DESERT REGIONS. WILL LIKELY NEED WIND
ADVISORIES FOR DESERTS/COASTAL AREAS AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES
FOR MOUNTAINS ABOVE 6000 FEET.

TUESDAY EVENING...THE COLD FRONT/700 MB TROUGH ARE EAST AND SOUTH OF
FORECAST AREA...BUT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS STILL WEST OF/OVER SW
CALIFORNIA. THROUGH 2100 PST MOIST W/NW FLOW STILL MAINTAINING
UPSLOPE PRECIPITATION/ISLAND CONVERGENCE SHOWERS...BUT BY MIDNIGHT
WINDS HAVE VEERED TO MORE NORTHERLY DIRECTION AND MOST
PRECIPITATION...ASIDE FROM FEW SNOW FLURRIES...SHOULD END.

FORECASTED STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE CURRENTLY 0.25-0.50
INCHES FOR COASTS/VALLEYS...
0.50-0.75 INCHES FOR COASTAL SLOPES OF MOUNTAINS...
TRACE TO 0.15 INCHES FOR DESERTS.

THIS MIGHT YIELD URBAN FLOODING/SMALL STREAM FLOODING TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY EVENING FOOTHILLS/VALLEYS/COAST DUE TO ANTECEDENT SOIL
CONDITIONS NEAR SATURATION.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH MID THURSDAY MORNING...WEAK TO MODERATE OFFSHORE
FLOW PATTERN WITH SURFACE HIGH BUILDING OVER GREAT BASIN AND HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE ALOFT...ORIENTED N-S BUILDING ALONG THE COAST AND
SHIFTING INLAND TO ALONG LONGITUDE 110W. SLOW WARMING AND STRONG
DRYING DURING THIS TIME PERIOD BUT NO SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS...SEE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SLOWLY
SHIFTING EASTWARD TO LONGITUDE 107W...STILL WARM AND DRY OVER SW
CALIFORNIA BUT SHOULD SEE INCREASING CIRRUS AS HIGH LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE GETS PULLED UP AHEAD OF AS CLOSED LOW DROPPING
SOUTH ALONG LONGITUDE 135W.

SATURDAY...MODELS ARE NOW OUT OF AGREEMENT ON SYNOPTIC
FEATURES/TIMING...BUT LEANING TOWARDS ECMWF/GEM SOLUTION ON HANDLING
OF UPPER TROUGH WHICH IS MOVED TO VICINITY LONGITUDE 125W AND COLD
FRONT ALONG CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST. ALL MODELS AGREE ON FLATTENING
OF RIDGE DOWNSTREAM AND NORTHWARD MOVEMENT/STRENGTHENING OF
SUBTROPICAL JET STREAM.

SUNDAY/CHRISTMAS EVE...NEGATIVE TILT TROUGH MOVES INLAND ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. SUBTROPICAL JET STREAM...PER ECMWF MODEL...HAS
STRENGTHENED TO 130-160KT AND NORTHERN BAJA CALIFORNIA/SRN
CALIFORNIA ARE IN FAVORED NW QUADRANT. THESE FACTORS ADD UP TO A
MUCH WETTER PRECIPITATION EVENT THAN THE NEXT 36 HOURS.

.AVIATION...
171609Z...COAST/VALLEYS/MTNS...BKN-OVC CLDS IN THE 800-5500 FEET MSL
WITH SCT EMBEDDED -SHRA AND AREAS OF VIS 3-6SM BR...ALONG WITH MTN
OBSCURATION...WILL SLOWLY BECOME SCT-BKN WITH VIS 5-P6SM THROUGH
2000 UTC. 2000-18/0200 UTC...SCT-BKN CLDS IN THE 1500-3500 FT MSL
LAYER WITH MOSTLY P6SM VIS...ALTHOUGH AN ISOL -SHRA MAY TEMPORARILY
LOWER CIGS/VIS TO 1000 FT AGL/4SM. 18/0200 UTC THROUGH TUES
MORNING...CLDS BECOMING BKN-OVC IN THE 1000-10000 FT MSL LAYER WITH
-SHRA INCREASING. MAIN BAND OF SHRA EXPECTED 18/0900-1500 UTC...WITH
AREAS OF VIS 3-6SM BR AND LOCAL CIGS/VIS OF AOB 500 FT AGL/2SM. MTN
OBSCURATION LIKELY OVERNIGHT DUE TO CLDS/SHRA. SW WINDS OF 25-40 KTS
IN THE 5000-12000 FT MSL LAYER WILL BRING MOD UP/DOWNDRAFTS OVER AND
E/NE OF MTNS 18/0900-1800 UTC.

DESERTS...SCT-BKN CLDS BETWEEN 3500 AND 6000 FT MSL THROUGH TUES
MORNING. THE HIGH DESERTS MAY RECEIVE ISOL -SHRA DURING THE
18/0900-1800 UTC TIME PERIOD...WHICH MAY BRING LOCAL CIGS/VIS OF
2000-3000 FT AGL/3-5SM BR TO THAT AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
A STRONG DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY WILL CREATE
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 25-30 KTS WITH GUSTS OVER 35 KT LATE TUESDAY
MORNING INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH STRONGEST WINDS OCCURRING
TUESDAY NIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY AND GRADUALLY DECREASE
WEDNESDAY. COMBINED SEAS SHOULD EXCEED 10 FT IN THE OUTER WATERS
TUESDAY NIGHT FROM WIND WAVES AND A FRESH WEST-NORTHWEST
SWELL...WITH THE SHORT PERIOD OF THE SWELL...AROUND 7
SECONDS...RESULTING IN STEEP WAVES. THESE CONDITIONS WILL PRODUCE
DANGEROUS SEAS OVER OUR COASTAL WATERS. A GALE WATCH REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR BOTH THE INNER AND OUTER COASTAL WATERS FROM LATE TUESDAY
MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.

THE INCREASING WEST-NORTHWEST SWELL WILL ALSO LIKELY PRODUCE
ELEVATED AND ROUGH SURF ON WEST FACING BEACHES LATE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. A HIGH SURF ADVISORY MAY BE
NECESSARY FOR THAT TIME PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DEAD FUELS ARE PRETTY WET AND PLENTY OF NEW GRASS GROWTH OVER
FOOTHILLS...VALLEYS...COASTS. THIS AND ADDITIONAL WETTING RAINS/SNOW
FORECAST OVER NEXT 36 HOURS SHOULD PROVIDE A PRETTY GOOD BUFFER TO
RIDE OUT THE MODERATE NORTHEAST WINDS ON WEDNESDAY AND THE
WARMING/DRYING FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. MORE
WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINS POSSIBLE SUNDAY/CHRISTMAS EVE...THEN BASED
ON ECMWF MODEL...MODERATE OFFSHORE WIND EVENT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY INTO
THURSDAY DEC 27....BUT FUELS WILL PROBABLY NOT COME INTO ALIGNMENT
BEFORE WINDS DIMINISH.

&&

.SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE AT THIS TIME. WIND ADVISORIES MAY IN EFFECT TUESDAY AND
     TUESDAY NIGHT FOR MOST AREAS. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES MAY
     ALSO BE IN EFFECT TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT OVER THE HIGHER
     MOUNTAINS.

PZ...GALE WATCH FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR
     THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SAN MATEO POINT TO THE MEXICAN
     BORDER AND OUT 30 NM...WATERS FROM SAN MATEO POINT TO THE
