SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
905 AM PST MON JAN 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

A SERIES OF STORMS WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN...MOUNTAIN SNOW AND
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS AT TIMES THROUGH THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. COLDER
AIR ALOFT WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION MID-WEEK LOWERING SNOW LEVELS
TO NEAR THE TEJON PASS OVER THE GRAPEVINE.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-WED)...FIRST SYSTEM HIT A WALL OF EAST WIND AND DRY
AIR AT LOWER LEVELS AND JUST COULD NOT HOLD TOGETHER. THERE ARE A
FEW LIGHT SHOWERS AROUND AND ONE LAST BATCH NEAR PT CONCEPTION BUT
MODELS WEAKEN THIS FEATURE THROUGH THE MORNING AND I DON'T EXPECT
IT WILL HOLD TOGETHER MUCH LONGER. LOWERED RAIN FORECAST TODAY TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS FOR VENTURA/LA COUNTIES WITH AMOUNTS GENERALLY
UNDER A TENTH OF AN INCH.

THE FORECAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK IS STILL ON TRACK.
TIMING MAY NEED SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS AS THE TUE STORM APPEARS
TO BE A LITTLE FASTER MOVING THAN THOUGHT PREVIOUSLY BUT BOTH
TUE/WED SYSTEMS WILL BRING PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND
MOUNTAIN SNOW. MODELS ALSO SHOWING A LITTLE MORE INSTABILITY TUE
SO THE ADDITION OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST LOOKS GOOD AS
WELL. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR BURN AREAS WILL BE ISSUED TODAY AT
LEAST FOR THE TUE/WED SYSTEMS AND MAY NEED TO INCLUDE THU AS WELL
GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN.

***FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***

LATER TONIGHT A TROF AND A SFC COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM A COLD 533
DM UPPER LOW 150 MILES WEST OF COOS BAY OREGON WILL BEGIN ITS
APPROACH INTO THE STATE. THIS SHOULD BE THE BIGGEST STORM OF THE
WEEK.

THE FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH SRN CA DURING THE DAY TUESDAY ARRIVING
ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST AROUND DAWN AND EXITING L.A. COUNTY AROUND
SUNSET. THE BIG NEWS WITH THIS SYSTEM IS THAT THERE WILL BE VERY
LARGE AREA OF SOUTH FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND THIS WILL MAKE FOR A
VERY WET DAY. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH DYNAMICS ALONG THE FRONT TO
CREATE A FEW TSTMS AS WELL. RAINFALL WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES AND
RATES MAY BE HIGH ENOUGH TO CREATE SOME DEBRIS FLOWS BELOW THE
RECENT BURN AREAS. IN THE MOUNTAINS SNOW LEVELS WILL HOVER AROUND
6000 FEET. THE SNOW LEVELS MAY BE VARIABLE HOWEVER AS THE WARM SOUTH
FLOW WILL LIFT THE SNOW LEVELS IN THE SOUTHERN RANGES WHILE COLDER
AIR WILL ALLOW FOR LOWER SNOW LEVELS NEAR THE KERN COUNTY LINE. THE
TIGHT SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CREATE GUSTY WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT 15 TO 25 MPH ACROSS THE COASTS AND VLYS AND 20 TO 30 WITH
GUSTS 45 MPH ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

RAINFALL TOTALS FOR TUESDAY STILL LOOK LIKE 1-2" COAST/VALLEYS AND 2-
4" FOOTHILLS/MOUNTAINS. LOTS OF SNOW ESPECIALLY AT ELEVATIONS AT OR
ABOVE 7000 FEET WHERE UP TO 2 FEET IS POSSIBLE WITH ABOUT A FOOT
AROUND THE 6000 FOOT LEVEL.

THE DAY SHIFT WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE 12Z MDLS AND MAKE FINAL TIMING
ADJUSTMENTS AND WILL LIKELY CONVERT THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A
WINTER STORM WARNING. THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE HOW TO DEAL WITH THE
BREAK IN THE ACTION TUESDAY EVENING.

INDEED THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION TUESDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY WEDNESDAY AS TUESDAYS FRONT EXITS AND A LITTLE RIDGE POPS UP
AHEAD OF WEDNESDAYS STORM NUMBER THREE. THERE MAY BE SOME RESIDUAL
SHOWERS BUT NOTHING TOO GREAT.

ON WEDNESDAY A SECOND COLDER 526 DM UPPER LOW WILL ROTATE INTO THE
PLACE OF TUESDAYS LOW. THE COLD FRONT AND THE RAIN WILL ENTER THE
CENTRAL COAST IN THE MORNING AND WHILE THERE IS A CHC OF RAIN SOUTH
OF POINT CONCEPTION IN THE MORNING THE BULK OF THE RAIN WILL MOVE
INTO VTA AND LA COUNTIES IN THE AFTERNOON. THE MDLS ARE NOT IN TOTAL
AGREEMENT BUT THERE IS A CHC OF ANOTHER BURST OF HEAVY RAIN WITH
THIS SYSTEM. THERE IS NOT QUITE AS MUCH MOISTURE OR SOUTH FLOW TO
WORK WITH THIS SYSTEM AND EXPECT RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNT TO BE ABOUT
HALF OF THE AMOUNTS GENERATED ON TUESDAY. SNOW LEVELS MAY BE AS LOW
AS 5000 FEET WHICH WOULD BE A PROBLEM FOR THE GRAPEVINE.

.LONG TERM (WED NIGHT-SUN)... ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE UPPER LOW OFF
OF OREGON ELONGATES AND TAKES ON A NEGATIVE TILT. THIS SETS UP A
MOIST WNW FLOW PATTERN OVER SRN CA AND UNLIKE TUESDAY IT WILL KEEP
THE RAIN GOING ALL NIGHT LONG.

THE UPPER LOW WILL SLOWLY SLIDE THROUGH THE STATE THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT AND IT WILL BRING ENOUGH LIFT AND MOISTURE TO KEEP
SHOWER ACTIVITY GOING ALL THE WAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WILL NOT BE AS IMPRESSIVE AS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BUT
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ADD TO THE WEEKS TOTALS.

ALL MDLS AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION LATER FRIDAY
AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING AS RIDGE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE EXITING
UPPER LOW.

FORECAST GETS A LITTLE MURKY LATER SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AS SOME MDLS
BRING AN EMBEDDED IMPULSE DOWN IN THE NW FLOW OVER THE STATE. ITS
NOT A SURE THING BUT IT IS WORTH A CHC OF SHOWERS FOR LATER SATURDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY. AGAIN IF IT DOES RAIN IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL
BE TOO MUCH.

A LONG-PERIOD LARGE WESTERLY SWELL WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE COASTAL
WATERS FOR MID-TO-LATE NEXT WEEK...WITH WAVE HEIGHTS NEAR 20 FEET.
IF THIS SWELL DEVELOPS AS FORECAST BY THE MODELS...THE VERY LARGE
SWELL MIXING WITH SOUTHERLY WIND WAVES WOULD CAUSE ROUGH SEAS ACROSS
ALL COASTAL WATERS...ALONG WITH HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR WEST AND
NORTHWEST FACING HARBORS SUCH AS MORRO BAY...VENTURA HARBOR...AND
MARINA DEL REY.

&&

.BEACHES...04/400 AM.

...A STORMY WEEK IN STORE FOR SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA...

...RESIDENTS NEAR RECENT BURN AREAS SHOULD PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL
FLOODING AND DEBRIS FLOWS...

A SERIES OF STORMS WILL MARCH ACROSS THE PACIFIC INTO SOUTHWESTERN
CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK. THE FIRST STORM WAS BRINGING LIGHT RAIN TO
THE REGION THIS MORNING. PLENTY OF DRY AIR AT LOW LEVELS DUE TO
OFFSHORE FLOW IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA HAS DRAMATICALLY CUT DOWN
ON RAINFALL TOTALS WITH THIS SYSTEM. RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH TODAY
WILL BE ONE TENTH TO ONE THIRD OF AN INCH IN MOST AREAS...WITH
LOCAL HIGHER TOTALS. IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE 6000 FEET...AN INCH
OR TWO OF SNOW MAY FALL.

ANY SHOWERS SHOULD BECOME SCATTERED IN NATURE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM...MUCH STRONGER AND WETTER...WILL
CAUSE RAIN TO DEVELOP ACROSS SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA
COUNTIES TONIGHT. RAIN WILL QUICKLY SPREAD INTO VENTURA AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTIES TUESDAY MORNING. RAIN WILL TURN TO SHOWERS NORTH
OF POINT CONCEPTION IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
MOST OF THE DAY ELSEWHERE. RAIN MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES
TUESDAY...AND THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.

SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL HELP ENHANCE RAINFALL TOTALS...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS SOUTH FACING MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS. RAINFALL TOTALS WITH
THIS SECONDS STORM SHOULD AVERAGE ONE TO TWO INCHES IN COASTAL AND
VALLEY AREAS...AND TWO TO FOUR INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS AND
MOUNTAINS. RAINFALL RATES COULD REACH OR EXCEED ONE HALF INCH PER
HOUR PLACING RECENT BURN AREAS...INCLUDING THE NEW SOLIMAR BURN
AREA...AT RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING WITH MUD AND DEBRIS FLOWS. SNOW
LEVELS WITH THIS SECOND STORM ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM
5500 TO 6500 FEET. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW
WITH 1 TO 2 FOOT ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE ABOVE 7000 FEET...AND
LESSER AMOUNTS DOWN TO 5500 FEET.

A THIRD STORM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN...POSSIBLY HEAVY AT
TIMES...WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH A FOURTH STORM
LIKELY THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THESE SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE COLDER...WITH SNOW LEVELS POSSIBLY AS LOW AS 4000 FEET. THE
LOWER SNOW LEVELS COULD RESULT IN MORE WIDESPREAD SNOW IMPACTS
ACROSS THE LOCAL MOUNTAINS...INCLUDING INTERSTATE 5 NEAR THE
GRAPEVINE. YET ANOTHER STORM MAY AFFECT THE REGION LATE SATURDAY
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT
TIMING AND TRACK OF THESE SYSTEMS LATER IN THE WEEK...BUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE.

IN ADDITION TO THE RAIN AND SNOW...HIGH SURF IS EXPECTED MUCH OF
THE WEEK. BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...SURF COULD REACH DAMAGING
LEVELS. THE COMBINATION OF HIGH SURF...GUSTY WINDS AND
ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME COASTAL
FLOODING BY MIDWEEK. FOR MORE DETAILS ON HIGH SURF AND COASTAL
FLOODING...PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST COASTAL HAZARD MESSAGE.

RESIDENTS OF SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA...ESPECIALLY THOSE LIVING IN
OR BELOW RECENT BURN AREAS...SHOULD PREPARE NOW FOR THE IMPENDING
HEAVIER RAINFALL THIS WEEK. NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION.
FINISH UP OUTDOOR PROJECTS AND CONSIDER PREPARING SAND BAGS FOR
POSSIBLE FLOODING AND DEBRIS FLOWS.

RESIDENTS WITH BEACHFRONT PROPERTY ARE ADVISED TO MONITOR THE
LATEST FORECASTS...WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND ADVISORIES
THIS WEEK. MOTORISTS...ESPECIALLY THOSE TRAVELING INTO THE
MOUNTAINS...OR ON HIGHWAY 101 NEAR THE RECENT SOLIMAR BURN
AREA SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND CHECK THE LATEST
ROAD REPORTS. LOCAL COMMUTES COULD BE AFFECTED DUE TO POSSIBLE
ROADWAY FLOODING AND PONDING ON PAVEMENT SURFACES.
