AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
930 PM PST WED NOV 7 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF SYSTEMS WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...BRINGING MUCH COLDER WEATHER AS WELL AS A CHANCE
OF RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWER THROUGH SATURDAY.  STRONG AND GUSTY
WINDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS LATE TONIGHT
AND LAST INTO SATURDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL REBUILD FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH SOME GUSTY
OFFSHORE WINDS POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN.  TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO RETURN
TO NORMAL RANGES BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY.  HOWEVER...ANOTHER TROUGH
WILL THEN TAKE AIM AT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR WEDNESDAY...BRINGING
SOME COOLER CONDITIONS TO THE REGION AS WELL AS ANOTHER SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

&&

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

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW THAT THE PATTERN CHANGE IS
UNDERWAY...AS A VERY COLD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE DIGS SOUTH ALONG
THE WEST COAST FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA.  HOWEVER...AND PERHAPS THE
MORE INTERESTING FEATURE THIS EVENING IS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF TO
THE SOUTHWEST...LIFTING NORTH NEAR 29 NORTH AND 125 WEST.  ALTHOUGH
WATER VAPOR AND IR IMAGERY SHOW LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER
WITH THIS LOW...THERE IS A VERY ACTIVE DISTURBANCE WRAPPING AROUND
IT...PRODUCING QUITE A BIT OF LIGHTNING THIS EVENING OVER THE
PACIFIC.  IN FACT...COMPOSITE RADAR IMAGERY...PLEASE IGNORE THE
CHAFF MOVING ACROSS SAN DIEGO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES...IS JUST
STARTING TO SHOW SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WAY OFF TO THE
SOUTHWEST.  THIS DISTURBANCE WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT TOWARDS THE WEST
COAST TONIGHT AND MOVE INLAND TOMORROW.  UNFORTUNATELY...IT WILL
MOST LIKELY MOVE INLAND ACROSS BAJA.  HOWEVER...THERE IS A SECONDARY
FEATURE FURTHER TO THE NORTH...WHICH IS ALSO STARTING TO PRODUCE
SOME LIGHTNING.  THIS DISTURBANCE MAY ACTUALLY MOVE INLAND ACROSS
THE REGION TOMORROW...SO HAVE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO
THE FORECAST...MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.  IN THE
MEANTIME THOUGH....THE MARINE LAYER WILL LIKELY DEEPEN RELATIVELY
QUICKLY TONIGHT...IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING TROUGHS...AND THESE
DISTURBANCE SHOULD PRODUCE ENOUGH LIFT TO CAUSE SOME DRIZZLE LATE
TONIGHT WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE...THE REAL FOCUS OF THE FORECAST WILL TURN TO THE VERY
COLD DIGGING TROUGH...WHICH WILL LIKELY BRING MUCH COLDER AIR TO THE
REGION BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS WELL AS STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS TO
THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS.  THESE WINDS WILL LIKELY START TO
INCREASE LATE TONIGHT...AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY.  THE 00Z WRF...WHICH IS STILL COMING IN...SHOWS SOUTHWEST
TO WEST WINDS 35 TO 45 KTS AT 850 MBS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND
DESERTS BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON...WITH SOME LOCAL GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH
POSSIBLE THROUGH AND BELOW THE FAVORED PASSES AND CANYONS.  THESE
WINDS CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...AND THERE ARE HINTS THAT WE
COULD GET SOME BREAKING WAVES ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY...WITH SOME STRONGER GUSTS POSSIBLE AT THE
FAVORED WINDY SPOTS.  FOR NOW...HAVE LEFT THE WIND ADVISORY IN
TACT...BUT THINK THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE
UPGRADED TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING.

MEANWHILE...SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA STARTING
THURSDAY EVENING...AS THE FIRST WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.  AT
THIS TIME...AM NOT EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION WITH THIS
FIRST WAVE...BUT IT APPEARS THAT SAN DIEGO COUNTY MAY DO BETTER THAN
AREAS FARTHER NORTH...GIVEN THE WESTERLY COMPONENT OF THE WIND.  THE
SECOND WAVE AND COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE OVER THE REGION LATE
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.  AT THIS POINT IN TIME...THE MOISTURE LOOKS
PRETTY LIMITED WITH THIS AS WELL...BUT AM STARTING TO LEAN TOWARDS
THE WETTER NAM AND WRF VERSIONS...WHICH ARE SUGGESTING THAT SOME
ISLAND BANDING MAY OCCUR...GIVING SAN DIEGO COUNTY A BETTER CHANCE
AT PRECIPITATION ONCE AGAIN.  GIVEN THE VERY COLD AIR MOVING
SOUTH...ALSO THINK THAT THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE WARMER WATERS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING.  ONCE
AGAIN...THINK THAT THE REAL FOCUS FOR THIS WOULD BE MORE ON SAN
DIEGO COUNTY...BUT THINK MOST AREAS WILL SEE SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION.  AS THE COLD AIR MOVES INLAND ACROSS THE REGION ON
FRIDAY...SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL RAPIDLY TO BETWEEN 3000 AND 3500 FEET
BY FRIDAY NIGHT.  AT THIS TIME...THE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
CONTINUES TO HIGHLIGHT THIS FACT AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW.
AT THIS TIME...THINK THAT SNOW ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE
MOUNTAINS AREAS.  HOWEVER...SAN DIEGO COUNTY MAY BE THE
EXCEPTION...IF THE BANDING SETS UP.  A WARNING MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE
QUESTION...ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON
AND SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL SO LOW.  THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS WILL
LIKELY SEE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW...AND THINK SNOW WILL LIKELY STICK
ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 4000 FEET.  WILL AWAIT THE REST OF THE 00Z RUNS
BEFORE MAKING THE DECISION TO SEE IF A WATCH IS NEEDED.

SHOWERS WILL LINGER ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY...AND AS THE
SKIES START TO CLEAR SATURDAY NIGHT...SOME OF THE INLAND VALLEY
AREAS MAY SEE THERE FIRST CHANCE AT SOME FROST OR AT LEAST VERY COLD
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD BACK ACROSS
THE REGION FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND
POSSIBLE.  THE REAL CONCERN THESE DAYS WILL BE WITH THE INCREASE IN
THE OFFSHORE GRADIENTS ONCE AGAIN.  FOR NOW...IT APPEARS THAT THESE
WINDS WILL BE RELATIVELY WEAK OR MODERATE IN NATURE...BUT DEPENDING
ON HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION WE GET OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...THINK
THAT FIRE DANGER WILL LIKELY BE ELEVATED AGAIN FOR AT LEAST SOME OF
THE AREA.

ANOTHER TROUGH WILL THEN TAKE AIM AT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR THE
MIDDLE AND LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.  THE 12Z AND 18Z RUNS SEEMED TO
AGREE ON LATE WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR SOME PRECIPITATION
WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS...BUT THIS IS STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...GIVEN
THE LACK IN RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY.  THEREFORE...EXPECT SOME COOLER
CONDITIONS ONCE AGAIN...ALONG WITH THE RETURN OF THE MARINE LAYER
AND ONSHORE FLOW.
