AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
935 PM PST SAT FEB 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
MUCH COOLER THROUGH MONDAY AS ONSHORE FLOW INCREASES AND LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST.  SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR...EXCEPT FOR AREAS OF NIGHT AND MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG
ASSOCIATED WITH THE MARINE LAYER.  FOR LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING...A COLD STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING STRONG AND GUSTY
WESTERLY WINDS...LOW SNOW LEVELS...AND RAIN SHOWERS ALONG AND WEST
OF THE MOUNTAINS. HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
MOUNTAINS.  ALTHOUGH DRIER CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP FOR
TUESDAY...ANOTHER TROUGH MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SHOWERS TO THE REGION
ON WEDNESDAY.  A GRADUAL WARMING AND DRYING TREND WILL BEGIN LATE
NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE NEXT COLD AND POTENT TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE DIGGING SOUTH FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA THIS EVENING.  THIS
SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY NEAR 47 NORTH AND 137 WEST...WITH A 120 KNOT JET
PROPELLING IT SOUTHWARD...WHICH MEANS IT WILL BE LIKELY BE JUST OFF
THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.  IT WILL
CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTH ON SUNDAY NIGHT...BEFORE MOVING INLAND ACROSS
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.  THEREFORE...EXPECT
COOLER CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION ON
SUNDAY.  HOWEVER...THE SIGNIFICANT DROP IN TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR
ON MONDAY...AS THIS TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.  THIS SYSTEM
WILL ALSO BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TO THE
REGION...STARTING LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND SPREADING ACROSS THE REGION
ON DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY.  SNOW LEVELS WILL RAPIDLY FALL DURING
THE DAY ON MONDAY FROM AROUND 4000 AND 4500 FEET TO AROUND 2500 FEET
BY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  ALTHOUGH THE BRUNT OF THE HIGHER
SNOW TOTALS WILL FALL ABOVE 4000 FEET...SOME OF THE HIGHER VALLEY
LOCATIONS COULD SEE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW LATE IN THE DAY ON
MONDAY.  THEREFORE...A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF
THE MOUNTAINS AREAS ABOVE 4000 FEET.  THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO BRING
SOME VERY GUSTY SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS TO THE MOUNTAINS AND
DESERTS.  ALTHOUGH THE 12Z MODEL RUNS BACKED OFF THE VERY STRONG AND
GUSTY WINDS...THE LATEST 00Z RUNS ARE ONCE AGAIN STARTING TO HINT
THAT WIND GUSTS UP TO 65 OR 70 MPH ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.
GIVEN THE LACK OF CONSISTENCY...WILL KEEP THE HIGH WIND WATCHES IN
TACT FOR NOW.

THE PRECIPITATION WILL SLOWLY TAPER OFF OVER THE AREA LATE MONDAY
NIGHT...WITH DRIER CONDITIONS DEVELOPING FOR TUESDAY.  ANOTHER
TROUGH WILL THEN MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ON WEDNESDAY.
MODELS ARE NOW HINTING THAT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MAY SEE SOME LIGHT
SHOWERS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...BUT THE MOISTURE LOOKS
QUITE LIMITED AND WOULD LIKELY BE LIMITED TO AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF
THE MOUNTAINS.  A GRADUAL WARMING AND DRYING TREND WILL FINALLY
BEGIN TO DEVELOP OVER THE REGION FOR REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK AND
THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...
260440Z...COASTS/VALLEYS...STRATUS WITH BASES 1200-1500 FT MSL AND
TOPS NEAR 2000 FT MSL CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTH ALONG THE COAST AND
25-30 SM INLAND OVERNIGHT. AREAS OF 3-5SM VSBY AND LOCAL VSBY 2SM OR
LESS WILL DEVELOP IN THE VALLEYS AS STRATUS MOVES INLAND. CLEARING
EXPECTED INLAND 15-17Z AND ALONG THE COAST 17-19Z. STRATUS WILL MOVE
BACK INTO THE COASTAL AREAS AFTER 00Z WITH BASES 1500-2000 FT
MSL...LIFTING TO 2000 FT MSL OR HIGHER AND REACHING THE COASTAL MTN
SLOPES LATE SUNDAY NIGHT.

MOUNTAINS/DESERTS...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND UNRESTRICTED VISIBILITIES
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
MONDAY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE
COASTAL WATERS WILL BRING STRONG GUSTY WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS 20-30KT.
THESE STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO GENERATE STEEP WIND WAVES AND ROUGH
SEAS HAZARDOUS TO SMALL CRAFT. WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE ON
TUESDAY.

...A VERY COLD STORM WILL IMPACT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...

A VERY COLD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS...MUCH COLDER AIR...LOW SNOW LEVELS...AND
STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS
DESERTS.

SINCE THIS SYSTEM WILL BE COMING FROM THE NORTH AND MAY HAVE AN
OVERLAND TRAJECTORY...MOISTURE COULD BE LIMITED...WITH MOST OF
THE PRECIPITATION FALLING OVER AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.
HOWEVER...CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING TIMING AND
AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND SNOW THAT WILL FALL. PRELIMINARY RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WILL RANGE BETWEEN ONE TENTH TO ONE THIRD INCH NEAR THE
COAST...TO ONE THIRD TO TWO THIRDS OF AN INCH ON THE COASTAL
MOUNTAIN SLOPES. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO AN INCH MAY BE
POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS. LESS THAN ONE TENTH INCH IS POSSIBLE IN
THE DESERTS.

THE SNOW LEVEL WILL RAPIDLY FALL DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY TO AS
LOW AS 2500 FEET OVER PORTIONS OF SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE
COUNTIES BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND OVER SAN DIEGO COUNTY BY MONDAY
EVENING. SOME OF THE FOOTHILLS AND HIGHER INLAND VALLEYS MAY SEE A
MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW AS WELL. TWO TO SIX INCHES OF NEW SNOW IS
LIKELY ABOVE 4000 FEET...BUT HEAVIER AMOUNTS UP TO A FOOT ARE
POSSIBLE DEPENDING ON THE STORM TRACK. DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF
HEAVIER SNOW AND STRONG WINDS...A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.

THERE WILL ALSO BE STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. LOCAL GUSTS UP TO 65 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE
OVER THE WINDIER MOUNTAIN RIDGES AND DESERT SLOPES MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

WATCH FOR LATER STATEMENTS...POSSIBLE ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS AS
THIS STORM DEVELOPS. THE STRONG WINDS...COLD...AND SNOW WILL POSE A
HAZARD FOR ANYONE HIKING OR CAMPING IN THE MOUNTAINS. TRAVEL IN THE
MOUNTAINS WILL BECOME HAZARDOUS. THE HIGHER PASSES COULD BECOME
TREACHEROUS AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING...WINDS INCREASE...
AND ROADS BECOME ICY.

AS THIS SYSTEM EXITS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT...OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES
MAY FALL BELOW FREEZING IN SOME OF THE COLDER VALLEYS.
