AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
930 PM PDT WED MAY 13 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A NORTH PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING PERIODS OF SHOWERS FROM
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...TAPERING FRIDAY NIGHT. RAIN COULD BE HEAVY
FRIDAY MORNING. SNOW WILL FALL IN THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS OF SAN
BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE. GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO OCCUR IN THE DESERTS.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR MAY THROUGH FRIDAY. FAIR
AND COOL WEATHER WILL OCCUR OVER THE WEEKEND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK WITH AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS MAINLY IN THE NIGHTS AND MORNINGS
WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

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

SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLOUDY THIS EVENING WITH A COMBINATION OF LOW
CLOUDS NEAR THE COAST AND HIGH CLOUDS OVER MANY AREAS. THE MAIN
STORM SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY ABOUT 500 MILES WEST OF THE OREGON COAST
WITH A SLIGHTLY NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH TO THE SOUTH OFF THE
CALIFORNIA COAST. THIS TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN
CAIFORNIA THURSDAY AFTERNOON...AND THIS WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD
MOSTLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE SOME OROGRAPHICS
IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE UP TO ONE-HALF INCH OF RAIN COULD FALL IN THE
FIRST ROUND. PRECIP SHOULD PEAK IN THE AFTERNOON...AND 500 MB TEMPS
WILL FALL TO ABOUT -23 C DURING THE DAY AND BRING UNSTABLE ENOUGH
CONDITIONS FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR
IN THE DESERTS/DESERT SLOPES DUE TO THE PRESSURE/THERMAL
GRADIENTS...THOUGH THE WINDS WILL DECREASE THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE
WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY. OVERALL...MODELS ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT
WITH PREVIOUS RUNS...SO CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED FOR THE THURSDAY
FORECAST.

THE MAIN ACTION WILL BE EARLY FRIDAY AS THE MAIN LOW TRACKS THROUGH
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. RAIN SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANT WITH THE POSITION OF
THE LOW...THE INSTABILITY AND NEARLY AN INCH OF PRECIPITABLE WATER
AT THE COAST. RAINFALL OF ONE-HALF TO ONE INCH COULD HAPPEN FRIDAY
MORNING OVER MANY AREAS FROM THE MOUNTAINS WEST TO THE COAST. STRONG
CYCLONIC FLOW WILL NOT BE FAVORABLE FOR OROGRAPHICS...THOUGH THE WRF
AND OTHER MODELS HAVE INDICATED SOME SORT OF FRONT STRETCHING EAST-
WEST OVER NORTHERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND THE COASTAL WATERS...SO THIS
COULD BE THE FOCUS OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIP. STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS WILL
GENERALLY BE 1 TO 1.5 INCHES...WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS TO 2 INCHES...
QUITE IMPRESSIVE FOR MID-MAY. THERE WILL BE SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS...MAINLY ABOVE 6000 FEET...WITH UP TO ABOUT 10 INCHES
POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY MOUNTAINS. THE
THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL BE THERE...WITH SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE. TEMPS
WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL...15 TO 25 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR HIGHS
IN SOME INLAND AREAS FRIDAY.

THE SYSTEM WILL EXIT TO THE EAST FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT AFTER A VERY
WEAK RIDGE SATURDAY FOR SOME WARMING...TROUGHING WILL DOMINATE OVER
THE WEST COAST MOST OF NEXT WEEK AND KEEP TEMPERATURS BELOW NORMAL
WITH STRONG ONSHORE FLOW BRINGING AREAS OF NIGHT/MORNING STRATUS
WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS AND PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS IN THE
MOUNTAINS/DESERTS. SO FAR...THE MODELS KEEP PRECIP NORTH OF THE AREA
NEXT WEEK.
