AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
135 PM PST MON JAN 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW LATITUDE PACIFIC JET STREAM WILL BRING A SERIES OF
STORMS INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEK WITH
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION AT TIMES...PERIODS OF
STRONG GUSTY WINDS...AND HIGH SURF AT THE BEACHES.

&&

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

MOSTLY CLOUDY THIS AFTERNOON WITH WIDELY SCT LIGHT
SHOWERS...MOSTLY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE PATTERN ACROSS THE PACIFIC FOR THE PREDICTABLE FUTURE IS NOW
MORE TYPICAL OF PATTERNS ACROSS THE PACIFIC FOR JANUARY THROUGH
MARCH DURING STRONGER EL NINO EPISODES...WITH A STRONG NEARLY-
ZONAL JET STREAM AT LOW LATITUDES ACROSS THE PACIFIC BRINGING A
SERIES OF STORMS TO THE WEST COAST.

THE FIRST IN THIS SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS TO AFFECT CALIFORNIA
CONTINUES TO MOVE INTO SOUTHERN ARIZONA. RAINFALL TOTALS SO FAR
RANGE FROM A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH IN ORANGE COUNTY AND THE
INLAND EMPIRE TO OVER ONE THIRD OF AN INCH IN SOUTHER SAN DIEGO
COUNTY. WIDELY SCT SHOWERS COULD BRING ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOTALS
THROUGH TONIGHT RANGING FROM LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF AN INCH TO ONE
HALF INCH IN FAVORED LOCATIONS ALONG THE COASTAL MTN SLOPES. THE
SNOW LEVEL WILL LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE 6000 FT THROUGH TONIGHT WITH
UP TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IN SOME AREAS.

A SECOND...AND STRONGER STORM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA LATE TUESDAY MORNING INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A THIRD STORM
EXPECTED LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND A FOURTH
STORM THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.

FOR TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED
TO RANGE FROM AROUND 3 INCHES NEAR THE COAST TO BETWEEN 5 AND 8
INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH ONE HALF TO ONE INCH IN THE DESERTS.
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS EXPECTED BETWEEN LATE TUE MORNING THROUGH
TUE NIGHT. AS THE GROUND BECOMES SATURATED...THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLOODING...MUD SLIDES...AND DEBRIS FLOWS WILL INCREASE. AS COLDER
AIR MOVES IN FROM THE NW TUE NIGHT...ISOLATED TSTMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE.

THE SNOW LEVEL WILL REMAIN NEAR 6000 FEET THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
BEFORE LOWERING TO AROUND 5000 FEET WEDNESDAY...AND 4000 TO 4500
FEET WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOWFALL ARE EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SAN
BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES FOR LATE TUESDAY MORNING INTO
TUESDAY EVENING...WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL FOR
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND THURSDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY
SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO THE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY MOUNTAINS FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.
SHOWERS COULD LINGER THROUGH FRIDAY WITH MOSTLY LIGHT ADDITIONAL
PRECIP.

STRONG AND GUSTY WEST NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE MTNS AND
DESERTS FOR WED THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN PERIODS OF VERY
LOW VISIBILITY DUE TO SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW IN THE MTNS ABOVE THE
SNOW LINE.

THERE COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF LESS ACTIVE WEATHER ON SAT BEFORE
ADDITIONAL STORMS MOVE IN FOR SUN INTO TUE. DUE TO INCONSISTENCIES
IN THE NUMERICAL MODEL SOLUTIONS...THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF THESE SYSTEMS.

&&

.AVIATION...
042115Z...CLOUDY SKIES OVER THE ENTIRE REGION WITH BASES AROUND 3500-
4500 FEET MSL AND SCATTERED -SHRA MOVING NORTH THROUGH THE AREA
TODAY AND TONIGHT. SOME CIGS MAY LOWER TO AROUND 2500-3000 FEET THIS
EVENING DURING PERIODS OF SHOWERS. LOCAL TERRAIN OBSCURED BRIEFLY IN
HEAVIER SHOWERS AND LOWER CLOUDS. SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE
AND INTENSITY LATE TUESDAY MORNING WITH LOWERING OF CLOUD BASES AS
WELL.

&&

.MARINE... 115 PM...SOUTHEAST WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED SO THE SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN CANCELED. STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY
AND CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. A WESTERLY SWELL WILL INCREASE TODAY
AND A VERY LARGE REINFORCING SWELL WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...PEAK THURSDAY...THEN DECREASE FRIDAY. THE WINDS AND SWELLS
WILL CREATE CONDITIONS HAZARDOUS TO SMALL CRAFT.

&&

.BEACHES...
115 PM...A SERIES OF STRONG PACIFIC STORMS WILL GENERATE LARGE
WESTERLY SWELLS...WHICH WILL PRODUCE HIGH SURF. THE FIRST SWELL WILL
ARRIVE TODAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A MUCH BIGGER SWELL

SURF CAPABLE OF DAMAGING COASTAL STRUCTURES AS WELL AS COASTAL
FLOODING...BEACH EROSION...AND VERY STRONG RIP CURRENTS. SWELL AND
