AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
113 PM PST SUN DEC 16 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A MOIST WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY
WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION ALONG AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.
LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...A PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA...ACCOMPANIED BY
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS...RAIN...AND SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
WARMER AND DRY UNDER WEAK HIGH PRESSURE FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. LATE NEXT WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...A LARGE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL APPROACH CALIFORNIA
WITH INCREASING CHANCES OF RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW.

&&

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

SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CLOUDS FILLING IN ACROSS SOCAL W OF THE
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON. THE CLOUDS COVERED THE CA BIGHT AS WELL.
RADAR SHOWED WEAK RETURNS INCREASING IN AREAL COVERAGE ALONG THE
COAST AND OVER THE COASTAL WATERS.  SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS WERE
WEAK...AND WINDS WERE LIGHT...EXCEPT FOR A FEW GAGES IN THE PASSES
AND MOUNTAINS. LOOKS LIKE A DAMP EVENING WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS WITH
AREAS OF VERY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE INCREASING IN AREAL COVERAGE.

BASED ON LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AT 21Z...A WARM FRONT HAS
TAKEN SHAPE JUST OUTSIDE THE BIGHT OR ABOUT 10O MILES OFFSHORE. THE
FRONT WAS INITIALIZED WELL ON THE 18Z NAM AND SHOULD MAKE STEADY
PROGRESS TOWARD THE COAST THROUGH MON MORNING. NAM TIME/HEIGHT CROSS
SECTIONS SHOW A 6 DEGREE C WARMING IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER BY 18Z
MON. HIGH (175% OF AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR) PW VALUES IN
EXCESS OF ONE INCH CONTINUE OVER THE EAST PACIFIC. GIVEN THE
MOISTURE AVAILABLE...AND MOST OF THE MODELS SUGGESTING SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING OVER THE AREA...EXPECT THIS WARM FRONTAL
ZONE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO GENERATE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS AS IT APPROACHES OVERNIGHT AND MON MORNING. CONTINUED MOSTLY
CLOUDY ON MON...WITH A CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT PCPN AT TIMES WITH A
WEAK EDDY CIRCULATION CONTINUING OVER THE CA BIGHT.

THE MORE SIGNIFICANT STORM WILL ARRIVE ON TUE. IT IS SHOWING UP ON
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS MORNING SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS...NEARING
160W. MODELS ARE ON TRACK WITH THIS SYSTEM. THIS WAVE WILL MOVE
RAPIDLY...AMPLIFYING DOWN THE COAST ON MON NIGHT...AND DRIVE A COLD
FRONT THROUGH SOCAL ON TUE. STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP
BEHIND THE FRONT OVER THE ENTIRE REGION. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF PW AND
SUFFICIENT DYNAMICS...A LINE OF MODERATE TO BRIEFLY HEAVY SHOWERS IS
POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS WELL. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL
START OUT VERY HIGH...THEN FALL WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. SEVERAL
INCHES OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ALL MOUNTAINS ABOVE 4500 FEET IN
THE COLD AIR BEHIND THE FRONT. GIVEN THE TRAJECTORY OF THIS SYSTEM
AND THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW...IT APPEARS SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL BE FAVORED
FOR SOME OF THE HEAVIER PRECIP AMOUNTS AGAIN...PARTICULARLY IN THE
MOUNTAINS WHERE SOME SPOTS COULD SEE ONE TO TWO INCHES...A PORTION
OF THAT AS SNOW ON THE HIGHER PEAKS.

DUE TO THE SPEED OF THIS SYSTEM AND THE MODELS ALL DEPICTING ONLY
LIGHT TO LOCALLY MODERATE PRECIP AMOUNTS. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
A HEAVY PRECIP EVENT FOR SOCAL. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE ANOMALOUSLY HIGH
PW AVAILABILITY...QPF AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN BUMPED UP ACROSS THE AREA
ABOVE GUIDANCE. A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MORE
DETAILS...SEE LAXSPSSGX.

THE 12Z GFS/ECMWF RUNS LOOK SIMILAR THROUGH

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...WARMER AND DRY UNDER HIGH PRESSURE WITH
SOME LOCAL NORTHEAST WINDS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NEAR THE
COASTAL FOOTHILLS. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL...ESPECIALLY INLAND.

THE OUTLOOK LATER NEXT WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK GETS VERY FUZZY
WITH THE VARIOUS MODELS OFFERING A NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS WITH THE
LARGE ARE OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EAST PACIFIC. THE GFS KEEPS THE
ENERGY TO THE NORTH WITH A MORE ZONAL PATTERN ACROSS CA...WHILE THE
12Z GEM/ECMWF AMPLIFY THE TROUGH FARTHER SOUTH. THERE ARE TIMING
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODELS AS WELL. SO AT THIS TIME...
WE ARE PLAYING IT WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE OF PCPN SUN/MON.
THIS STORM HAS A LOT MORE POTENTIAL IF THE MODELS ARE CORRECT SO
HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO GAIN MORE CONFIDENCE ON IT OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS.

.AVIATION...
162100Z...WEST OF THE MTNS...AREAS OF BKN-OVC CIGS WITH BASES
2500-3000 FT MSL AND TOPS TO 8000 FT MSL...OBSCURING HIGHER TERRAIN.
EXPECT BASES TO STEADILY LOWER OVERNIGHT...DECREASING TO AROUND 2000
FT MSL BY 06Z...AND 1000-1500 FT AFT 09Z. CIGS AND VIS COULD LOWER
TO BLO 1000 FT MSL AND 6SM IN FOG AND LIGHT RAIN AT TIMES. EXPECT
PARTIAL CLEARING AFT 17Z MON.

NW WINDS 15 TO 25 KT WITH GUSTS OVER 35 KT ALONG THE MTN CRESTS AND
DESERT MTN SLOPES ARE PRODUCING MODERATE UDDFS. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
DECREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS
TUESDAY AND BRING STRONG WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS. NW WINDS OF 20-25
KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE TUE INTO WED
MORNING...WITH STRONGEST WINDS TUE NIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE
NORTHERLY AND GRADUALLY DECREASE WED. COMBINED SEAS COULD EXCEED 10
FEET IN THE OUTER WATERS DUE TO COMBINATION OF WIND WAVES AND FRESH
WNW SWELL...AND THE SHORT PERIOD OF THE SWELL WILL RESULT IN STEEP
WAVES. THE INCREASING NW SWELL WILL ALSO LIKELY PRODUCE ABOVE NORMAL
SURF ON WEST FACING BEACHES TUE AFTERNOON INTO WED MORNING.
