AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
925 AM PST TUE FEB 14 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS OVER SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE OVER
SOUTHERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY TODAY. LINGERING CLOUDS AND COLD AIR WILL
RESULT IN BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUING. A SECOND COLD STORM
FROM THE NORTH IS EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IT IS
EXPECTED TO BRING NUMEROUS SHOWERS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...AND GUSTY WEST WINDS IN
THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL FOLLOW FOR LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS THROUGH AND
BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS. WEAKER NORTHEAST WINDS WILL LINGER INTO
FRIDAY WITH HIGHER TEMPERATURES. GRADUALLY COOLER FOR SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY WITH GUSTY WEST WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS AT
TIMES.

&&

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

RADAR IMAGERY THIS MORNING INDICATES SCATTERED TO ISOLATED LIGHT
SHOWERS CONTINUING OVER SOUTHERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY...EXCLUDING THE
DESERTS. THE UPPER TROUGH...WHICH HAS BEEN BRINGING THE
PRECIPITATION SINCE YESTERDAY...IS CURRENTLY OVER NORTHWEST ARIZONA
ACCORDING TO WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY. AS THE UPPER TROUGH
CONTINUES TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST...SHOWERS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL
DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND LIKELY DISSIPATE COMPLETELY BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. LINGERING COLD AIR AND CLOUDS HANG AROUND TODAY AS A WEAK
TRANSITORY RIDGE MOVES IN.

ON WEDNESDAY...ANOTHER COLD UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE DOWN FROM THE
NORTH. MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM MOVING
OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUING TO
MOVE SOUTH OVER BAJA THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. MOISTURE WITH
THIS TROUGH LOOKS A BIT DEEPER THAN THE ONE THAT CAME THROUGH LAST
NIGHT...AND 500MB TEMPERATURES WITH THIS SYSTEM GET AS COLD AS -29
DEG C. THUS...LOOKS LIKE NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS AND SOME
THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING SMALL HAIL/GRAUPEL WILL BE POSSIBLE
WEDNESDAY. THE MAJORITY OF THE RAINFALL IS EXPECTED  WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH AMOUNTS RANGING FROM ONE TENTH TO ONE
QUARTER OF AN INCH NEAR THE COAST...TO ONE HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF
AN INCH IN THE MOUNTAINS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE DESERTS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE ONE TENTH OF AN INCH OR LESS. SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO
FALL DOWN TO AS LOW AS 3500 FEET OR SO BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH 3
TO 6 INCHES...AND LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...OF STORM TOTAL SNOW
POSSIBLE MAINLY ABOVE 4000 FEET. A WINTER STORM WATCH MAY NEED TO BE
ISSUED LATER TODAY FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WESTERLY WINDS WITH
THIS TROUGH DO NOT APPEAR TO BE AS STRONG...WITH SOME GUSTS TO 45-50
MPH OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS LIKELY.

AS THE TROUGH MOVES OUT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...HIGH PRESSURE AT
THE SURFACE STARTS TO BUILD OVER THE GREAT BASIN. IN
ADDITION...THERE WILL BE SOME DECENT NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS IN THE
UPPER LEVELS. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG AND GUSTY
OFFSHORE WINDS THROUGH MOUNTAIN PASSES AND CANYONS LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. A HIGH WIND WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THAT TIME
PERIOD. AS IS TYPICAL DURING OFFSHORE WINDS...WEATHER WILL BE DRY
AND WARMER THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

WINDS WILL TRANSITION BACK TO THE ONSHORE DIRECTION...BRINGING IN A
SLIGHT DECREASE IN TEMPERATURES SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE
TO LOWER ON SUNDAY AS ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH DROPS DOWN FROM THE
NORTH. AT THIS TIME...MODELS INDICATE THAT THE FEATURE WILL STAY
JUST TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...RESULTING IN A
LOW CHANCE FOR PRECIP. HOWEVER...THIS COULD CHANGE IF FUTURE MODEL
RUNS SHOW THE TROUGH DROPPING DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN
CURRENTLY PREDICTED. NEVERTHELESS...ONSHORE FLOW WILL
STRENGTHEN...BRINGING GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS TO THE MOUNTAINS AND
DESERTS AT TIMES THROUGH MONDAY...ALONG WITH CONTINUED BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.
