SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
202 PM PST TUE FEB 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS...

A PAIR OF LOW SYSTEMS WILL BRING PRECIPITATION AND BELOW NORMAL
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE FIRST STORM WILL
MOVE IN TO SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY ON WEDNESDAY AND SPREAD THE
PRECIPITATION SOUTHWARD INTO EARLY THURSDAY. THE SECOND STORM WILL
MOVE IN BY FRIDAY MORNING AND LINGER THROUGH SUNDAY. HEAVY RAINS AND
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS ON FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-FRI)...
TWO STORM SYSTEMS REMAIN ON TRACK TO REMIND US THAT THIS IS OUR WET
SEASON AFTER ALL. THIS WILL SEEM LIKE GOING FROM DROUGHT TO FLOOD
BEFORE THIS IS ALL OVER...ALTHOUGH WE WOULD STILL NEED 5 OR MORE BIG
STORMS TO GET BACK TO A NORMAL PRECIPITATION YEAR.

WITH THE ONSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENTS TODAY NEARING 4MB WE ARE SEEING
MAX TEMPS RUNNING ABOUT 3-7 DEGREES BELOW YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME.
LOW CLOUDS ARE HANGING JUST OFF THE COAST SOUTH OF PT CONCEPTION AND
HAVE STARTING MOVING BACK INLAND ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST. EXPECT ALL
COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS TO SEE CLOUDS ROLL BACK IN TONIGHT. THERE
IS ALSO A THIN VAIL OF HIGH CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST STORM
SYSTEM THAT WILL CONTINUE TO THICKEN OVERNIGHT.

STORM #1 BRINGS LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO THE CENTRAL COAST WEDNESDAY
MORNING SPREADING SOUTH OF PT CONCEPTION IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE NAM MODEL IS MUCH SLOWER THAN OTHER MODELS BUT AMOUNTS
LOOK SIMILAR OVERALL. IT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISING TO SEE LIGHT RAIN
IN MORE AREAS THAN THE NAM IS SHOWING IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON
HOURS DUE TO WARM ADVECTION SPREADING OVER THE AREA. THE NAM HOLDS
ONTO RAIN ACROSS LOS ANGELES COUNTY THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AND
STARTS TO BLEND IN WITH THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WITH VIRTUALLY NO
BREAK BETWEEN. THIS FIRST STORM SYSTEM SHOULD BRING LIGHT-MODERATE
RAINFALL WITH 0.50-1" TOTALS THROUGH THURSDAY. RAIN RATES SHOULD
STAY BELOW 0.50" PER HOUR WITH MINIMAL THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS AS
THE COLDEST UNSTABLE AIR STAYS MAINLY NORTH OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.
SNOW LEVELS ABOVE 8000 FEET TO START THEN FALL TO 6000 FEET BY THE
TIME PRECIPITATION IS SHIFTING EAST OR DIMINISHING...SO LITTLE
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

STORM #2 COULD BRING MANY PROBLEMS TO OUR REGION. THIS STORM SYSTEM
WILL BE SUPERSIZED BY A VERY STRONG JET STREAM CURRENTLY OVER 170KTS
ACROSS THE EAST-CENTRAL PACIFIC OCEAN BETWEEN 30-40N LATITUDE. A
LARGE AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SPREADS OVER THE AREA BEFORE
SUNRISE FRIDAY MORNING. THEN THE NOSE OF THE JET STREAM SHOULD SLAM
INTO OUR MOUNTAINS BETWEEN 12-18Z. DYNAMICS RAPIDLY GO OFF THE
CHARTS WITH SOUTHERLY 850MB WINDS OVER 50KTS...PRECIPITABLE WATER
1.2 INCHES...OVER 700 J/KG CAPE AND -3 LIFTED INDEX FOR THE VENTURA
AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY REGION. VERY STRONG UPSLOPE FLOW WILL ENHANCE
RAIN RATES AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY OCCUR FRIDAY MORNING INTO
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MODEL QPF USUALLY UNDERPLAYS THE UPSLOPE FACTOR
BUT STILL SHOWS OVER 1.1" IN 3-HR PERIODS. THE POTENTIAL FOR MUD AND
DEBRIS FLOWS DUE TO INTENSE RAIN RATES NEAR THE RECENT BURN AREAS
(COLBY, MADISON, SPRINGS, POWERHOUSE, MADRE) WILL VERY MUCH BE A
CONCERN. SNOW LEVELS WILL RAMP UP INITIALLY TO 8000 FEET THEN DROP
TO 5500-6000 FEET FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY RANGE
FROM 1-2 FEET FOR THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS ALONG WITH CONSIDERABLE
BLOWING SNOW. A LITTLE EARLY YET FOR A WATCH BUT SKI RESORTS WILL BE
HAPPY.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TAIL END OF STORM #2 AS THE COLD
CORE DRIFTS EITHER ACROSS CENTRAL CALIF OR HOLDS TOGETHER AND MOVES
RIGHT ACROSS THE BIGHT. THE SECOND SCENARIO WOULD KEEP THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE FORECAST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...WHICH IS WHAT WE WILL
CONTINUE TO GO WITH. THIS RESULTS IN LESS ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY DOWNPOURS...SMALL HAIL...AND A
CONTINUED DEBRIS FLOW THREAT FOR THE BURN AREAS THROUGH SATURDAY.
RAINFALL TOTALS FOR STORM #2 WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 1-3" FOR COASTS
AND VALLEYS (HIGHEST NEAR FOOTHILLS) AND 3-6" AND LOCALLY 7" FOR
SOUTH-FACING MOUNTAIN SLOPES SPECIFICALLY EASTERN SBA/WESTERN
VENTURA COUNTIES AND THE EASTERN SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS IN LOS
ANGELES COUNTY.

MINOR RIDGING BEGINS SUNDAY AND MONDAY BUT LINGERING MOISTURE COULD
SQUEEZE OUT ISOLATED SHOWERS MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. THE RIDGE
AMPLIFIES BY TUESDAY FOR A DRIER FORECAST AND INCREASING
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION...25/1800Z.
NOT THE BEST OF CONFIDENCE IN THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE TODAY...DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE RETURN OF LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT. DECIDED TO
CONTINUE THE CURRENT EXPECTATION OF LOW CLOUDS AGAIN
TONIGHT...HOWEVER MID AND HIGH CLOUDS MOVING IN TONIGHT COULD
INTERFERE WITH LOW CLOUD DEVELOPMENT.

KLAX AND KBUR...EXPECTING A NEAR REPEAT OF LOW CLOUDS AGAIN
TONIGHT...BUT THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF NO RETURN OF LOW
CLOUDS.

...STORMY WEATHER WITH SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY...

A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN THE WEATHER IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY AS A COUPLE OF WINTER STORMS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA. THESE TWO STORMS WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL...HIGH ELEVATION SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS.

THE FIRST STORM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA FROM WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY. RAIN WILL BEGIN ACROSS SAN LUIS OBISPO
AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND WILL SPREAD
SOUTH AND EAST INTO VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES WEDNESDAY
EVENING BEFORE EXITING THE REGION BY LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS WEATHER SYSTEM ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO
BE BETWEEN 0.50 AND 1.00 INCH...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO
1.50 INCHES POSSIBLE IN FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS. SNOW LEVELS WILL
REMAIN RELATIVELY HIGH...ABOVE 7500 FEET DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY
THEN DROPPING TO AROUND 6500 FEET WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.
ALONG WITH THE PRECIPITATION...GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED ESPECIALLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN.

THE SECOND STORM WILL IMPACT THE AREA FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...AND WILL LIKELY BE THE STRONGEST STORM
THE AREA HAS EXPERIENCED IN ABOUT THREE YEARS. MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA
COUNTIES BY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...THEN SPREAD QUICKLY INTO VENTURA
AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AND CONTINUE INTO
FRIDAY EVENING. WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY IS THEN LIKELY FRIDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE TAPERING TO SCATTERED SHOWERS SATURDAY
NIGHT. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED WITH AN UNSTABLE
AIR MASS...RESULTING IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST
OF THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP
WOULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING BRIEF INTENSE RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS STORM COULD BE VERY IMPRESSIVE. THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL FOR 1.50 TO 2.50 INCHES FOR COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS
WITH 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAINS...WITH EVEN HIGHER
AMOUNTS OF UP TO 6 INCHES POSSIBLE ALONG SOUTH FACING SLOPES.

SNOW LEVELS ON FRIDAY WILL GENERALLY BE ABOVE 7000 FEET...BUT WILL
DROP DOWN TO AROUND 5000 TO 5500 FEET BY SATURDAY. THE MOUNTAINS
COULD RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND
WINTER STORM CONDITIONS DUE TO STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS.

ONE AREA OF SPECIAL CONCERN WITH THE SECOND STORM WILL BE THE
POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING WITH MUD AND DEBRIS FLOWS IN AND
AROUND RECENT BURN AREAS...INCLUDING THE COLBY...MADISON...
POWERHOUSE...MADRE AND SPRINGS BURN AREAS. GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY AND INTENSE RAINFALL...RESIDENTS LOCATED NEAR THESE BURN AREAS
SHOULD BE ALERT FOR THE POTENTIAL OF MUD AND DEBRIS FLOWS FRIDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY.

LATEST INFORMATION ON THE UPCOMING STORM SYSTEMS...INCLUDING UPDATED
FORECASTS...STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS.
