AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
930 PM PST SAT JAN 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A WINTER STORM WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING COOLER WEATHER...ALONG WITH STRONG AND
GUSTY WINDS THROUGH MONDAY. LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR AT TIMES
OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...BECOMING HEAVIER DURING THE DAY AS A
STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. HEAVY SNOW IS LIKELY AT THE HIGHER
MOUNTAIN RESORTS SUNDAY EVENING. FAIR AND DRY WITH A SLOW WARMING
TREND THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

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

SATELLITE IMAGERY EARLY THIS EVENING SHOWED EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDS
COVERING THE COASTAL BASIN AND THE ADJACENT WATERS. FARTHER TO THE
NORTH...A THICK BAND OF HIGHER CLOUDS WAS ADVANCING EAST ACROSS
CENTRAL PARTS OF THE STATE. RADAR AND SFC REPORTS SHOWED SOME VERY
LIGHT PRECIPITATION BREAKING OUT IN SPOTS...OTHERWISE IT WAS DRY
MOST AREAS AT 8 PM PST. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WAS
ACCELERATING ONSHORE BETWEEN 4 AND 8 MBS TO THE DESERTS...AND THE
WINDS WERE RESPONDING WITH PEAK GUSTS OF 40-60 MPH IN WIND-PRONE
MOUNTAIN AND DESERT AREAS. THE 00Z MIRAMAR SOUNDING HAD A 4 DEGREE C
INVERSION BASED NEAR 3850 FT MSL AND A PW OF 0.70 INCH. WINDS ALOFT
WERE INCREASING AND VEERING WESTERLY.

NO CHANGES ANTICIPATED TO THE CURRENT FORECAST AT THIS TIME. MAIN
CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON SUNDAY WHEN A
SHARP COLD FRONT WILL TRAVERSE THE AREA FROM NW TO SE. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW MODEST INSTABILITY AND STRONG WINDS ALOFT. IF A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS DO FORM AND MIX DOWN SOME OF THE MOMENTUM INDICATED
JUST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND FEET OFF THE SURFACE...WIND GUSTS COULD
EASILY TOP 50 MPH WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. IN ADDITION...A SFC LOW
WILL BE RAPIDLY DEEPENING AS IT MOVES INLAND OVER THE LA BASIN 00Z-
06Z MON. THIS SETS UP A STRONG LOCAL SFC GRADIENT FROM S TO N OVER
THE CA BIGHT IN THE AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE GEOGRAPHY AND ISALLOBARIC
FORCING...FAVOR THE STRONGER MODEL WIND SOLUTIONS OVER THE NEARSHORE
WATERS AND ADJACENT COASTAL AREAS. THE LATEST 00Z WRFEMS SHOWS GOOD
POTENTIAL WITH SW WINDS AT 30 AGL FORECAST TO REACH 50 KTS OVER
SW SAN DIEGO COUNTY AROUND 00Z MON.

A NUMBER OF ADVISORIES/WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR WIND AND WINTER
WEATHER TO COVER THE EVENT. PLEASE SEE LAXNPWSGX AND LAXWSWSGX FOR
DETAILS. HEAVY SNOWFALL IS MOST LIKELY ABOVE 6500 FEET SINCE
ELEVATIONS BELOW THIS LEVEL ARE FORECAST TO RECEIVE A CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF PRECIP IN THE FORM OF RAIN. ALTHOUGH BRIEF...LOCAL
RAINFALL RATES IN EXCESS OF ONE-HALF INCH PER HOUR MAY BE SUFFICIENT
FOR SOME LOCAL URBAN FLOODING ISSUES BY EVENING.

EXPECT TO DROP THE WIND ADVISORY OVER THE HIGH DESERT BEFORE 10 PM
AND EXPECT SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS/DRIZZLE TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
INTO SUN MORNING WITH MINOR ACCUMULATIONS.

NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN IS ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 13 BASED ON
EXTENDED GFS GUIDANCE.

FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

THE DEEP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS SW CA SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. THIS WILL CREATE MODERATE TO HEAVY
PRECIPITATION MAINLY OVER AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING OVER THE COASTAL
MOUNTAIN SLOPES FROM UPSLOPE FLOW. INSTABILITY ALOFT WILL CREATE THE
POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...AND PERIODS OF HEAVY
PRECIPITATION OVER THE COAST AND VALLEYS...AS WELL. MINOR URBAN
FLOODING IS LIKELY AS THE HEAVY RAIN MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.
FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE WHERE THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION FALLS
BELOW THE SNOW LEVEL...AND WHERE CELLS TRAIN. LOWER LEVEL
DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR ARE BORDERLINE FOR ISOLATED WATERSPOUT
DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE FRONT. A STRONG UPPER-LEVEL JET WILL ALSO
SUPPORT THE GENERATION OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION...AND STRONG WEST
WINDS OVER ALL AREAS...ESPECIALLY THE MOUNTAINS. GUSTS OF 75 TO 85
MPH ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND IN THE DESERTS...AND H850
WINDS OF 50 KT MAY MIX TO THE SURFACE DURING AND AFTER THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...CREATING ISOLATED GUSTS TO 60 MPH IN THE VALLEYS AND
ALONG THE COAST.

...FORECAST STORM TOTAL PRECIP (IN) LATE TODAY THROUGH EARLY MON...
DESERTS.........0.15 TO 0.50
COAST/VALLEYS...0.75 TO 1.00
MOUNTAINS.......1.50 TO 3.00...WITH LOCALLY GREATER AMOUNTS

SNOW LEVELS WILL START OUT AROUND 8000 FT THIS EVENING...LOWER TO
7500 FT SUNDAY MORNING...6500 FT SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND 3500 FT
SUNDAY NIGHT. A DUSTING OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE DOWN TO 3000 FT MONDAY
MORNING.

...FORECAST STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL (IN) LATE TODAY THROUGH EARLY MON...
3500 TO 4000 FT...UP TO 1
4000 TO 5000 FT...2 TO 5
5000 TO 6000 FT...3 TO 9
6000 TO 7000 FT...6 TO 12
ABOVE 7000 FT.....12 TO 20

SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF MONDAY MORNING ACROSS THE REGION...WITH
WINDS DIMINISHING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. SEE LAXNPWSGX AND
LAXWSWSGX FOR DETAILS ON THE WIND ADVISORIES...HIGH WIND
WARNINGS...WINTER STORM WARNINGS AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES
CURRENTLY IN EFFECT.

HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OFF THE WEST COAST WILL AMPLIFY MID TO LATE
NEXT WEEK...CREATING DRY WEATHER WITH A WARMING TREND. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE
END OF THE WEEK...WITH WEAK SURFACE OFFSHORE FLOW AT TIMES.
